fulmine he's upset? and when the dust settles and the pieces get picked up, that's how stupid people are. Better to be nice to people whilst they are still alive. Morrisey has been balls deep & a major contributor to the unpleasantness since the smiths split.
The Smiths were a top, top table band, and one that should've reformed since. The didn't, and for why? Because of greed and arrogance and stubbornness.
All 4 members played their part in the sound, and two of them didn't deserve fucking over on money. 40% each to Morrisey & Marr for the recording and performance royalties; 10% each to Joyce and Rourke? Two of them have done very well out of the band, and a reformation & tour would've allowed the other two to live comfortably and been a fair send off, new music or not.
