Count your blessings, but spare a thought for those poor people whose towns he is visiting.

This was posted by Mike Joyce yesterday - caused a bit of a stir and curiosity (and usual bollocks about a full on reunion!)
Be interested to see what they have in mind.

Nice one! Not sure he will be forthcoming until the grand announcement.
My biggest fear is they have recruited Mick Hucknall to sing the songs......
Bassist first with the Smiths.

He was brought in to replace Andy after his drug problem, but I don’t think he ever played bass for them, as Johnny and Moz gave Andy a second chance.
So you’re both right.

But never on record or in concert ;)

Hey..... I am always right on this particular subject ;) You are correct too! After a couple of rehearsals, Rourke was back in the fold.

I'm up for this - the secret is out!
Checking flights for the Manchester date.
Wonder what Morrissey and Marr will make of it!

What an absolute fucking travesty. The novelty has worn thin on the Hacienda classical bollocks, but this is seriously taking the piss.
The Smiths backing band playing classical reinterpretation of the hits. Just Why?

Is it any crasser than Elvis' band playing a live gig with an Elvis video as a backdrop / vocal?
Or Queen without Freddie? The Doors with Mick fucking Hucknall!

We are talking about the Smiths here not Elvis. Elvis was the king of crass.
Before we know it, the bass player out of Joy Division will be going round covering their albums in full.

Any idea who is taking Moz's place at this thing? It will end up being Rowetta.

Was having a think and it says a number..... and yes she was one of them in my mind!
Between them they know a lot of Manc (and non Manc) singers..... was thinking along the lines of Tim Burgess, Tom Hingley, Pete Shelley....

They should get the bloke out of Puressence. With an orchestra he would do justice to the songs. Pretty much the only current Manc singer that can actually sing.
If they really wanted to piss Mozza off, they should ask Bernard Sumner to do it.

As the quote says, “We are not The Smiths”. Jesus, this is utter shite MES. You know it, I know it. And two other gentlemen know it.
