From Channel 4's (UK) Planet Sound teletext pages:

PAINTING A VULGAR PICTURE

Johnny Marr has attacked WEA over their handling of The Smiths’ back catalogue.

“They’re a bunch of barrow boys,” Marr told PS. “I can’t say how much it upsets me that they own the rights to The Smiths’ work until we die.”

Marr added that he and Morrissey had approached WEA with reissue ideas. “They didn’t reply,” he said. “I’ve given up offering. They’re too busy misspelling song titles to show any courtesy to the band.”

Morrissey & Marr-donna!
Just read in the latest Q Magazine (May 03)..

Madonna interview: 'Life in Los Angeles, she says, is quiet. She's been taking guitar lessons for the past two years and strums along to Neil Young, Radiohead and The Smiths for fun.'

Can't he sign to Sire?!

"SUCH A LITTLE THING MAKES SUCH A BIG DIFFERENCE"

During the Colorado Springs gig I got the chance to give Morrissey a book of my Art and Poetry (if you look in the archives of that show you will see my whole story) but I gave my book to him at the concert and at the end of the book I said-"If lost please return to owner", then I put my address on there.

Well just two days ago I got a package in the mail...
