But, but, but,.... That is me !!#$@%&!!!!
You've photo-shopped all my teeth away.!!
They were my pride and they cost me a fortune!!
HOW DARE YOU!!!
I will sue you.
FYi:
I have the same lawyer as Moz.
You won't get away this time as with the Mozzia fruitcake!!!
This will cost you millions!
Well, since he quoted my message and I said I'd be the first in line ... I thought he meant ME.
So, maybe a joint lawsuit?
Get a grip.
This is the universal truth. Follow. The. Money.Money Changes Everything
Johnny sounds oddly petulant at times. He poses in front of a huge Smiths backdrop - looking like Liam Gallagher - and then spits his dummy out when people jump to conclusions. Newsflash, Johnny, the Smiths are why you will be remembered. If you have to tolerate the "million dollar question" more than anyone else, it is simply because the rest of your career has been so disappointing.
An your f***ing Moz??? Tell me that WPINOYB Is a master piace... Marr wanna do something bigger with another Smiths; remember that Rourke was a member too...Johnny sounds oddly petulant at times.

Doesn't Morrissey get asked about a reunion nearly as much? Well, he did back when he actually granted proper interviews.
Granted his career didn't go down the predictable road and he didn't immediately try to form The Smiths Part 2. Johnny's post-Smiths career has been about him working with the people and projects that most interested him. He seems quite happy with his body of work and accomplishments ... so, a "disappointment" by who's standards?

Johnny's career has been disappointing by the standards of virtually any Smiths fan, I would think
This is true, bit daft i think on Johnnys part to expect anything else than Smiths reunion hopes, especially when there is a wealth of reissues and anniversaries at the moment.
Ofcourse if it was Morrissey saying 'Get a Grip' then the press and fans would be out in droves to slate his arrogant and ungrateful attitude.
Not daft at all. I'm sure he gets tired of the same old silly question. Given most fans know the history behind the break up and the court case. It's not unusual to see reissues on or around anniversaries. I agree that it would be amazing to hear and see them all together again. It's not possible if Mike is on board, and without him, it wouldn't be The Smiths. I'd love a Morrissey and Marr reunion, but could they tolerate each other long enough to do that? I just don't see Johnny being that patient, to be honest.
I agree with the last bit. Morrissey, even when he is being rational, is almost always misunderstood.
Morrissey phoned. He would like for you to jump off the 86th floor of the Empire State Building. Do you have a parachute?
