i wasnt sure what to expect from morrisey, turns out it was very touching

ā€œSometimes one of the most radical things you can do is to speak clearly. When someone dies, out come the usual blandishments ā€¦ as if their death is there to be used. Iā€™m not prepared to do this with Andy. I just hope ā€¦ wherever Andy has gone ā€¦ that heā€™s OK. He will never die as long as his music is heard. He didnā€™t ever know his own power, and nothing that he played had been played by someone else. His distinction was so terrific and unconventional and he proved it could be done. He was also very, very funny and very happy, and post-Smiths, he kept a steady identity - never any manufactured moves. I suppose, at the end of it all, we hope to feel that we were valued. Andy need not worry about that.ā€
MORRISSEY.

I wasnā€™t aware of close he was to Dolores

Every cloud has a silver lining in suppose, Iā€™ve been making dinner, having a few cans and listening to the smiths for the last 90 minutes or so, Jesus they were an incredible band, no duds at all really except for the couple of instrumentals, but thatā€™s on me

Did I ever relate the time I saw the Smiths play live in the Savoy Bingo Hall in Waterford in 1984 supported by James?

You didnā€™t. Do tell. Iā€™ll start it for you;

ā€œThere I was, 37 years young, single and ready to mingleā€¦ā€

Did you heckle them to play their early stuff?

Is that the only one? Maybe it is, anyway, no Morrissey, no smiths (for me)

It is I think.

Morrissey came up with the name!
