If it’s not cash, then it’s the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb that will bring us together
According to Billboard, Morrissey turned down $75 million to “tour under the Smiths name in 2008 and/or 2009.” The only proviso to the deal is that Johnny Marr would have to be part of the band — Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke are apparently devalued on the Smiths financial index.
To which I say, “Come on!” How much do you have to hate someone to turn down that kind of money? Personally, I don’t care if they ever reunite — Mozz’ band is perfectly capable of playing those songs — but I would get onstage and pretend to like just about anyone for $75 million.
Maybe it’s that “just about” that is the deal breaker, and if that’s the case, these guys must want to take welding torches to one another’s heads.
Who would you get onstage with for $75 million?
