As reported earlier, Johnny Marr was the featured artist on the Sold On Song feature of the Richard Allinson show on BBC Radio 2 all last week. He commented briefly on four songs he'd co-written: The Boy With The Thorn In His Side, The The's The Beaten Generation, Electronic's Getting Away With It and Is It Really So Strange. I've transcribed Johnny's exact words below (I missed the The The one). On 'TBWTTIHS' (mentioned previously): "One of my favourites and most enduring I think... err... recently -shock horror- Morrissey and I were kind of discussing err... that song as being the one that should be rereleased if ever there was one that was rereleased. There's the scoop." On 'Getting Away With It': "Getting Away With It - heard it on the radio a few weeks ago, was absolutely surprised at what a great pop tune it was and kind of a bit of a soundtrack to summer for me and quite a lot of other people and just came out of the blue one early Saturday evening before we were going out to the Hacienda. Kind of perfect really." On 'Is It Really So Strange': "Written in Le Parc Hotel in Los Angeles err... head to head me and Morrissey together as usual done very quickly and I love the 'left my bag at Newport Pagnell" - it works every time. It was a pretty good one, yeah."

They are getting older and wiser. The bad taste in the mouth is being slowly washed away. Civility is the first step. Friendship the second. After that people of Smithdom, anything is possible.
It's good to see this. It is important for their peace of mind, and for the way we remember their relationship.
I'm happy.

Why is your comment considered “flamebait”? Is the moderator just being silly or have I missed something?
