Johnny Marr (The Smiths, The Cribs, Modest Mouse, The The, so many more) is arguably one of the greatest and most influential guitarists of the last 50 years. So don't waste any time reading this intro. Just listen to the podcast. It's one of my favorites. Lots of talk about our favorite...

Now that Morrissey has shown he is willing to play album anniversary shows (YATQ)... is there any way this could lead to Morrissey & Marr reuniting to play 40th Smiths album anniversary shows (MIM 2025 or QID 2026)? Think about it... they could do it without calling it a "Smiths reunion"... or...
Very interesting listen when Johnny Marr joined Jo Whiley on her BBC Radio 2 show (02/11/23) , lots of brilliant stories / anecdotes & tunes.

This is hilarious, not only does he apologize in ADVANCE for canceled gigs (are you watching and learning, Moz?) the rest of this is pretty funny. I actually like Johnny again, he's been very well behaved. I think he's proven his points about Morrissey by just sitting back, being quiet and...

The latest edition of German music magazine "Musikexpress" has an interesting Johnny Marr feature in which he talks about the records he listened to while making "Fever dreams PTS 1-4". This is the DeepL translation:
Morrissey says that Marr should stop talking about him in interviews. Marr's...
Don’t know if this has been mentioned, and people have already noted the similarities between the strings on There is a Light and Marr’s solo song Hi Hello.
But I also hear another Smith influence, that being Patti Smith with her song Dancing Barefoot. (Smith/Kral)
A fairly unusual Johnny interview, talking about his family and Irish background.
No Smiths or particular music mentions, apart from that Chrissie Hynde is a close friend and has been an influence on him singing...
