Murder is the meat
hi guys, very long history story short.....I’m 47 lived in baguley wythenshawe shady lane where Jonny marr lived back in the day. I went to school with Ian Maher, I got into the smiths when meat is murder came out, when kids had ghetto blasters on street corners blaring out break dance tunes. We started blaring out smiths tunes instead.
Anyway, I got proper hooked, the 99 bus into town every Saturday to buy a record, imports the lot....an hour bus ride there and back, not a one click down load, fan commitment!
I used to see Johnny’s 5 series t reg bmw outside his parents now and then, I’d run home, grad a record and wait for him and angie to come out to sign it, sun,snow,rain or hail he always did.....lovely lovely bloke and lady.
First moz meeting...me and my pal were driving near the cresta court hotel in altrincham (my pal had an xr3i with THE SMITHS on the back window) and we stopped at the lights, a white golf gti pulls up next to us (night time) IT ONLY f***ING MORRISSEY, any way the window went down, MORRISSEY MORRISSEY PULL OVER PLLLLLLLEEEEASE..he did outside the don chippy and was just as nice as Johnny and angie signed our stuff and f***ed off, he seemed as happy to see us as we were to see him!
On meeting your hero’s......never over do it, ask too much or take the piss
I’ve had many more meetings over the years but when your a teenager seeing them on screen to in the flesh is a different ball game.......I also think, having to get a bus to Manchester, 15 minute walk to bus, 1 hour ride to town and same back again gives you a different kind of respect for the artist than just clicking down load from your pit
Them good old days .....eh
