to the sole of your shoe, Aidin Vaziri. Marr's phone number? Why? What could he possibly contribute? Don't get me wrong, as a session guitarist, Marr is exceptional. But as a writer? What has he actually produced worthy of note since the demise of The Smiths? Perhaps (like many fans and journos), Vaziri believes a collaboration between Morrissey and Marr would produce some kind of gestalt entity (Morrissey/Marr) incapable of doing wrong. Don't be so fucking naive: there has never been a partnership so perfect it presented its constituant parts with a bottomless well of creativity. All good things come to an end. Yes, they may have produced one more great album post Strangeways, but would we have had 'Playboys', 'Will Never Marry', 'Hairdresser', 'Maudlin Street', 'At Amber', 'Mute Witness', 'My Love Life', 'I Know It's Gonna Happen', 'Now My Heart', 'Nobody Loves Us', 'Wide to Receive', 'Camden'. 'Never Played Symphonies', 'My Life is a Succession', 'Good Looking Man' and so on and so forth and more fucking beauty than we deserve? Would we? I very seriously fucking doubt it, my friends.

It's well past time the name 'Marr' was left out of any discussion about the current and future output of Morrissey.
