Morrisey and Johnny Marr were lovers and they split up..and then the band did. Still at least they went out on a high...didnt release crap records after their hey-day like U2 have been doing for the past 15 years !  | |

Just listen to "Strangeways Here We Come". The breakup is all over that album. I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |

u2 have done good songs recently. Beautiful day, stuck in a moment Morrissey has been kicking ass like never b4 recently. Do you think it's hip to knock die hard bands from the 80s? | |

Right reason, wrong band member. | |

They'd fulfilled their quota of inspiring young males to throw away their lives by romanticizing depression?  | |

no. Mozzer is, though, and a I think alot of the songs are about Morrissey's unrequited crush on Marr. They both understood this | |

I don't think any of them were gay. But who knows really? 
But yeah, Johnny took some time off in the summer of '87 to do some session work for Bryan Ferry. Somehow, someone got the impression that he was done with the group and sent the word to the enemy..er, I mean NME. The next issue had the headline "SMITHS TO SPLIT!". But I'm sure that's not what Johnny intended to do. But he felt that one of the others conspired to put the word out. So he left and the others struggled to keep it going, but they left soon after.

Mike Joyce is bisexual and was going out with Morrissey. Mike dumped Morrissey for a woman who he ended up marrying. That's the story, OK? | |

Does that really make sense to you? | |

From Wikipedia:
The Smiths were reunited in court in 1996 to settle a royalties claim by Joyce against Morrissey and Marr, who had claimed the lion's share of the Smiths recording and performance royalties and allowed only ten percent each to Joyce and Rourke (composition royalties were not an issue, as Rourke and Joyce had never been credited as composers for the band). Morrissey and Marr claimed that the other two members of the band had always agreed to that split of the royalties, but the court found in favour of Joyce, and ordered that he be paid over £1m in back pay and receive twenty-five percent henceforth. As Smiths royalties had been frozen for two years, being under financial pressure Rourke settled for a smaller lump sum to pay off debts, and continued to receive ten percent. Morrissey was described by the judge as "devious, truculent and unreliable."
