    Haha I saw the Smiths at Glasto in 1984 ! In those days it was still a CND festival and my ticket cost £13. I've still got photos, quite good ones, there weren't the big distances between the stage and the audience like there are now. I was right at the front.

    Poor old Johnny Marr. He never recovered from being kicked out of The Smiths. Morrissey recorded dozens of hit albums and continues to sell out tour after tour. Meanwhile Marr is hanging around backstage, hoping someone will ask him on stage.
    His solo albums have bombed, his contribution to music is withering to nothing and he talks about The The like they were in any tiny way significant.
    A small, small, insecure man.
    It's a shame everyone who claims to love him never bought his album. He might not be playing session guitarist to the Killers if they had.

    Johnny Marr was only interesting when he was in The Smiths. Everything he has done since then has been shit. He would not be playing session guitarist to 2000s throwback The Killers if he had done anything interesting since The Smiths. Let's stop this charade now. Whether you like Morrissey or not, let's stop the lies. Marr is a bore. A great guitarist with The Smiths and that is all he was.
