Did not know that. It is sad, amazing, and pisses me off all at the same time.

I’m no rock star but I’ve been 23 years old. I was having a fricking blast. I can recall being pissed off a few times but can’t recall why. What could be so bad that you leave all that money and creativity on the table? Give things 10 years to calm down. You are a grizzled old 33. It’s the 90’s and a shite ton of kids like me would have paid good money to see them.

Morissey was having success but what did Johnny Marr do? Honestly asking. Don’t know if he had side projects. Don’t know if he could sing?

They (as a band as a whole) definitely had a too cool for school, or anything else, attitude.

He did a lot of stuff after The Smiths broke up. He joined the Pretenders for a little while, was a member of The The, formed Electronic with Bernard Sumner, played with the Talking Heads, Brian Ferry. He's played on a lot of people's records over the years (Beck, Oasis, Pet Shop Boys, Modest Mouse) and done solo projects. So he's done pretty well - almost as good as Morrissey has done.
I mean, if he felt The Smiths were over and he couldn't take the other members, you might as well bail.
