I'm not talking about critical acclaim or commercial success.

I'm talking about the music, which is admittedly subjective, I just would never go so far as to say solo Morrissey is better. Just me though.

oh, me neither. i was just looking at it from the morissey's perspective. he's doing exactly what he wants, making money, and pleasing the critics. can't imagine why he'd reunion.

If you believe Morrissey cares about critics', or anyone's opinions, you don't know Morrissey.

-AC

can't say i've ever met him.

Wouldn't necessarily need to meet him to know that.

I'm seeing Morrissey live in a couple weeks or so.

Favorite Indie band?

Probably the Shins, assuming that we're referring to the sound and not the actual independent label in terms of what defines Indie.

Ask him what he thinks about critical acclaim...

and then we can all have a seance to snap our girlfriend(s) out of that coma (i know it's serious).

Can I just stop you? I've heard that one before.

Nice to see you finally accept it, AC. I still remember when you got quite ill-tempered after I called you AP. Admittedly, an insider I had no knowledge about at that moment. But it served it's purpose....mabe too well.

Morrissey's solo work, save for the odd good song on each of his albums, is quite dire, in my opinion.

He doesn't "need" The Smiths, but I'd not go so far as to say he's as good, or doing as well, without them.

-AC

Quite enjoy it actually. Not as good as The Smiths. But very good. To me. That is

I had the pleasure a few months ago. Quite excellent actually. A decent amount of Smiths songs...I was well entertained.

I did this because the character is funny. Not for any other reason. You know not enough to be involved.

It looks like November spawned a monster.

Well, you don't quite know how much i know. But as I said as a tool it was amusing. See it like this, an aborigine might be able to use a gun without really knowing why it works.

That's also not what she said.

(You joined in November. In an odd twist, I wanted to use that song title anyway, and it just happens you joined in a November.).

I continued our most funny game. Though November Spawned a Monster (amazing song) is a Morrissey title. A quite hilarious coincidence though. Now let there, for our little game, be a light that never goes out...!

Now? How soon is that?

Not sure, but we will get nowhere fast if we don't start.

That's what she said.

It's fun, this.

Even though we're basically just integrating specific song titles into our posts.

Yes, it is quite enjoyable though YOU (evil peron) not only used a different band but also used one song twice. I am dissappointed, though this game is quite exciting, like painting a vulgar picture....
