And well, relationships (and then I also mean colleague-esque or artist-esque, not just amourous) change and sometimes fade away. As much as I'd love seeing the Smiths re-united, in a way I appreciate Morrissey for his honesty rather than making things look better than they are. If you pretend people are your friends just because it looks good in the books, but in reality you don't get along at all, what sort of masquerade is that? Moz is honest, and I appreciate that, wouldn't call it 'bitter'.
I beg to differ, maybe he is slightly bitter nowadays, but I'd say sometimes that Johnny Marr etc. were more bitter. I've read some accounts that Morrissey was miserable when The Smith's split up, he'd do anything to want them to reform. The court case is the only thing that has made him bitter, and I think in all honesty he projects the image that "he hates The Smiths period of his life" because he actually loved it, and he's trying to cover this up in order to say being a solo artist has made him happy - which perhaps sometimes it has, but I believe he was very unhappy at first, especially during the period of Viva Hate. I have no proof of this, but it seemed to me.. Morrissey loved The Smiths, and what they represented. I think a part of him died when they split up.
