[The Alchemist]

A drinking habit he eventually knocked on the head around the same time Morrissey was picking up the pace on his. They both share several close freinds, and were (until a few years ago) still in email contact with each other. Im sure he knows very well what's going on, even if its only 2nd hand info from mutual freinds.

I think it was Noel G who said he was on great terms/in regular contact until morrissey 'went a bit odd' and cut him off, again, a couple of years ago. Chrissie Hynde also said she hadn't spoken to him in months/years, again a couple of years ago (I assume they have since then).
But that kind of disjointed behaviour is common when you have depression/drinking problems... then there's Alain leaving and making polite excuses...
A diminishing social circle, increasing paranoia&bitterness, not keeping up with your oldest aquaintances... staying in clinics for 'nervous exhaustion', the silly and obviously inebriated outburst on the aer lingus flight while Damon and pals sat in silence as though it were a regular occurrence...
These are the opposite actions of a successful, wealthy, healthy person in their 60s. Nobody is haemmorraghing longstanding professional or personal relationships at that age, unless you're deliberately pushing people away your 60s is often your most socially engaged phase.
It's a shame. he has a vast back catalogue to be proud of and he should be in his wise, witty, indulgent indie Leonard Cohen phase by now. Instead he's turned into Richard LittleJohn, writing bitter lyrics devoid of the old insightful humour and wisdom, while moaning to the Torygraph about cancel culture.

Notre Dame had a little for me.

I think “I Thought You Were Dead” “Blue Dreamer’s Eyes” “By the Time I get to Wherever I’m going” “Brow of my Beloved” were the last glimpse for me

Up the Moz

 

[The Wild Turkey]

Had to hear this one again.
Ah-a-a, Ah-a-a

 

[vegan angst machine]

Is he still going on about the rats in Jack the Ripper? If there's any time to quote Dracula, it's on Halloween...

 

[TheSmiths_1985]

Is he still going on about the rats in Jack the Ripper?

Another disadvantage of the no-management situation.
Butch Wilson, or whatever his name was at Red Light Management, would’ve been straight on the phone to DynoRod and had those rats out of there.

That’s why MOZI has no fixed abode, bloody rats everywhere.

 

[Johnnie Ray]

Same old tired set list. Ever get the feeling you've been cheated? He has become soooo lazy.

Random. Inconsequential.

 

[Johnnie Ray]

Glad this one is making a comeback.

Said no one ever...

@Famous when dead

"I ex love you" is a phrase that doesn't exist nor makes sense.

 

[BrokenFrame]

"I ex love you" is a phrase that doesn't exist nor makes sense.

I'm sure you will figure it out.

 

[TheSmiths_1985]

"I ex love you" is a phrase that doesn't exist nor makes sense.

It makes as much sense as How Soon Is Now?

How soon is now? Well, it’s immediate. It’s literally now. So it’s not soon at all. It’s now.

 

[Mayfly]

The last time Marr had anything to do with Moz he was the one with a drinking problem. What a load of bollocky conjecture.

That’s not entirely correct. There’s the story of Morrissey and Marr meeting up in 2008, with Marr sticking to his non-alcoholic drinks all night andMoz downing the pints. The 2 of them were also in touch, presumably via email, to work on the box set reissue of TQID in 2016.

 

[Gaylord Deepstar]

There was that drunken video on the plane though.

Yeah, that was awesome! #slowclap

 

[Johnnie Ray]

It makes as much sense as How Soon Is Now?

How soon is now? Well, it’s immediate. It’s literally now. So it’s not soon at all. It’s now.

If someone asked "how soon is now?" you would understand, like too much is never enough--doesn't make sense but you get it. But if someone said "I ex love you" you'd be like, wait what? That combination of words together make no sense!

 

[TheSmiths_1985]

If someone said “I ex-love you” I’d know exactly what they meant.
It’s not rocket science. Far from it; it’s pure stupidity.

Ex-get the f*** out of my life, is what I’d say to that.

 

[A Man Escaped]

I'm surprised the band didn't wear "I ex love you J Marr" T shirts.

 

[BrokenFrame]

He's just playing with words, it's nothing to get worked up about.

 

[Johnnie Ray]

It’s not rocket science. Far from it; it’s pure stupidity.

Ex-get the f*** out of my life, is what I’d say to that.

Instead of "I ex love you, uh uh uh," the chorus should be: "I don't love you, anymore, anymore." I mean, is it going to start a new trend? I ex love that movie, I ex love spaghetti, I ex like working out, I ex love basketball but now I prefer tennis, I ex love pizza...

 

[Mohnny Jarr]

Instead of "I ex love you, uh uh uh," the chorus should be: "I don't love you, anymore, anymore." I mean, is it going to start a new trend? I ex love that movie, I ex love spaghetti, I ex like working out, I ex love basketball but now I prefer tennis, I ex love pizza...

Well, “I don’t love you, anymore” would be just plain boring and unoriginal, don’t you think?
