I don't care whether or not Johnny liked his teachers. There was really no need in adding that bit to this reply or this silly picture. So what? Who cares? Did you feel the need to put that there for added measure? I mean, why else would you?
All Morrissey basically said in his book is that he felt that Porter made the music flat and, yes, he was suspicious of what he might be up to in regards of his influence on Johnny, but that is because Morrissey had a clear understanding of what he wanted the Smiths to be and that should have been worked out between him and Marr. He did not rip Porter to shreds nor did he "mercilessly stick his knife in", either. A bit dramatic! He just felt that the album failed everyone because the songs did not sound as good and powerful as the end result after Porter got a hold of the music. He also admitted that people acted odd around him because of the way he handled things. So, maybe he twisted the knife on himself a bit, too.
NONE OF US WERE THERE. We see both sides and we choose who we want to believe. I get where Morrissey is coming from. I understand Autobiography well, and his feelings of what others might have been up to behind his back, including Marr, who didn't help matters by skipping out in the end. In fact, the way the whole damn thing ended proved Moz right.
We see what Marr wants us to see. He puts on airs. At least Moz tells it like it is, or how he sees it, and if that makes people dislike him, well, hey, he's an adult and he's true to himself, and perhaps that's all that matters to him. I don't think he owes anyone an apology, but if he feels the need to, then I'd support it. However, just remember, in the end you are just as blind as I am because, again, you weren't there, and you only see what Marr puts out there and that's what you choose to believe. He probably smiles and has a laugh with loads of people he'd rather see fall from the face of the earth. I don't have any use for people like that.
I don't have anything else to say on this subject. This is my opinion. It is not a popular one, but...you guessed it...I don't care.
, I rest my case (if I had one, I’m not the budget lawyer here so I don’t know how well my ‘case’ would have held up in court). I’m going to sleep!
bloody hell. I'm gentle Jesus meek and mild compared to some here - and even as I was reading back and editing my reply, I softened the language. Have you ever visited Off-Topic?
