OK, here’s another face reveal, this was me meeting Morrissey on his way to breakfast after stalking him all night outside his hotel after I attended the 1992 ‘Your Arsenal’ tour in Milwaukee WI. Look how cute I was! God, I wish I had realized that at the time, I thought I was ugly and unlovable. There’s a long story that goes with this, but I think the photo will suffice for now.

"To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Rough Trade Records, Marr gave an interview with a writer from The Guardian (but of course!) in which it was explained how both Marr and Andy Rourke had traveled to Rough Trade Records many icebergs ago to offer the Smiths first recording ("Hand in Glove") in consideration of a contract. Naturally, this is deliberately untrue. It was Morrissey and Marr who made that journey to Rough Trade - at a time when Andy Rourke would not yet commit to becoming a group member. Marr must be fully aware of this distortion, but he nonetheless approved the text which, being written by a Guardian-stasi functionary, mentioned Morrissey only as a footnote in the Smiths history, and not as a founding member who solely created the group name. What is true will always be true, despite the efforts of Marr and his Guardian to shift the narrative.

Both Rough Trade Records and Warner Records (London) assured me that this 50th anniversary article will never be printed...

"For those who care about detail, being photographed outside of Salford Lads Club was not a Smiths idea or design, it was solely my idea, to which as usual the other three initially viewed as more unnecessary Morrissey lunacy. Now that millions of people come from all over the world to be photographed on that very spot, it is claimed as a Smiths idea. It wasn't, it isn't, and it never shall be. If I had suggested a photo outside Kellogg's the likelihood is that the other three would have done that instead."
