"Marr continues to tour as a special guest to New Order."

Ha ha! That did just make me laugh out loud at my desk. Soooo bitchy.

Very interesting indeed.
I'm wondering what made him change his mind, as he's always said 'no, no, no' to a Smiths reunion....

 

[BookishBoy]

(It's also possible, of course, that Morrissey is stretching the truth here, re AEG's offer. He does love a bit of embellishment...)

I know! I had to read the line "Morrissey said Yes to the offer" like 50x and I still am like, "Wait.... what?!"

I did just wake up, so maybe I'm imagining things. I'll be back later to read it again, maybe I am in twilight still.

You are sleeping, you do not want to believe....you are sleeping...

Can’t wait to see the response this gets. Headline headline headline.

Think he's losing his mind, Johnny did one date with New Order, had a UK solo tour in April and has been playing festivals throughout the summer. Johnny is also touring the USA next month co headlining with James. Nice picture of them at G-Mex.

Yes, you're right, Morrissey should be more precise and mention that Johnny has also toured as the "special guest" of Blondie, The Killers, and The Courteeners.

 

[sweetnuthin]

What a delightful response to that Farage photo nonsense.

It's very interesting but I'm not even sure I'd want a Smiths reunion. Could they ever be as good again, especially without Andy Rourke?

 

[Mozzer1980]

Pathetic, childish, arrogant. Moz must be really frustrated that he won't get a huge payday.
Man , release those two albums. Do something for your fans, don't wait for someone to do something for you.

 

[Lionsy]

As sad as this post is, it made me laugh out loud - so so bitchy

 

[Famous when dead]

Neither are communicating particularly well, but it's some form I guess...
Given his nostalgia-related comments via deaths or events - seeing Wythenshawe, Duffy, "Funky Si" (above), The Smiths featuring on 5/11 songs on the setlist and Marr in the middle of it all last Saturday could easily have elicited this type of response. That said, it could also be a direct response to the headlines that have gathered momentum overnight after the Farage tweet. Where: 'look, he's actually the bad one' is a classic bit of Morrissey deflection.
Who knows!?
The keeping names out of mouths isn't going too well though is it?
FWD.

(Edit: interestingly, AEG are the company responsible for the ressurecting/refurbishing/saving of The Wolverhampton Civic Hall AKA "The Halls").

 

[Thewlis]

The tables really have turned.
In 2009 Johnny wanted the reunion, but Morrissey wasn’t ready for it.
Now Morrissey wants a reunion but Johnny can’t get over Morrissey perceived politics.
He really should wise up and give in.
Time is running out.

Ooo ooo my turn!

Gorgeous Morrissey pic standing next to an underdeveloped bird head

Lovely picture btw!

I guess Morrissey never has been one for dignified silence.
