FOR ARDENT SMITHS’ WATCHERS, THESE CAN OFTEN BE TRYING TIMES. MORRISSEY AND JOHNNY MARR SEEM TO HAVE DIVERGED IDEOLOGICALLY TO THE POINT WHERE THEY HAVE LITTLE LEFT IN COMMON BEYOND A SHARED HISTORY THAT ENDED OVER 30 YEARS AGO. THE MOMENTS WHERE THEY HAVE INTERACTED FOR LONG SPELLS ? MOST FAMOUSLY, THE REVELATION IN MARR’S MEMOIR THAT THE PAIR DISCUSSED THE POSSIBILITY OF REFORMING THE BAND IN 2008 ? SEEM ALL THE MORE REMOTE AS THEIR SOLO CAREERS CONTINUE TO FLOURISH.

MARR’S LAST ALBUM, CALL THE COMET, WAS AS RICH WITH WARMTH AND OPTIMISM AS IT WAS BRIMMING WITH MUSICAL IDEAS; MORRISSEY’S LATEST, CALIFORNIA SON, IS AN UNEXPECTED CAREER SWERVE, A COLLECTION OF COVERS, INCLUDING SONGS BY DYLAN, PHIL OCHS AND BUFFY SAINTE-MARIE. MORRISSEY’S REASONS FOR CHOOSING COVERS AS OPPOSED TO ORIGINALS AT THIS POINT IN HIS CAREER ARE AS YET UNDISCLOSED; AS ARE ANY PARALLELS HE MIGHT SEE BETWEEN THE ‘60S PROTEST MOVEMENT AND THE PRESENT DAY.
