Tonight in Seattle:  

Morrissey refuses $75 million offer to reunite the Smiths...

...with the only provision being the Johnny Marr had to be present. Well, duh. It's not the Smiths without Johnny Marr.

You have to admire him for sticking to his guns I suppose, but woah. That is one serious, serious grudge. 

Hat tip to -- and more details available over at -- the amazing Brooklyn Vegan

Hat tip to Morrissey for being able to hold a grudge. I love his steadfast adherence to a thing called PRIDE! Way to to Moz!

Whoa, I didn't know Morrissey and Marr had a feud! I don't know my Smiths trivia!

I don't know that this would be due to any feud -- that Moz/Marr 'severed aliance' has been pretty well buried over the years, as I understand it.

But my hunch is Moz turned this down as he's gone on record in the past by saying that those Smiths songs were of a certain time/place in his life, and maybe he simply feels that performing them in his late-40s would sour that?

Also, do we know if Marr had actually agreed to these terms? I'd be curious.
