Morrissey-Marr

[Michael Gilham]

I am not writing to justify Mozza's actions.  And I think Marr's work in the Smiths was wonderful.  However, it's utterly ludicrous to imply that Morrissey is a "no-talent."
Indeed, since The Smiths split, it is Steven that has produced the most relevant body of work.  
 
Aside from some of Marr's work w/ Matt Johnson and the earlier Electronic stuff; sadly, he's become almost irrelevant.  If you've not heard Johnny Marr and The Healers, and find fault with this last statement, please reserve judgement until you have done. 
 
all best

Which explains some of Peel's between clenched teeth comments
in recent days
