They just really want to ask the question. It’s a little bit like a journalist Tourette’s. I know that some of the people who have asked me wouldn’t buy a ticket if the band reformed, and it’s very unlikely that they even would listen to the records. I’m sure there are other, public figures who just get asked the same kind of question all the time. I understand that it’s like a syndrome, so in some ways I don’t look at it any deeper than that. To be fair then to the people that do care, I’d like think that it’s because they’re nice enough to hope there will be some big happy ending. The fact is, there is a happy ending — I’m happy. It’s all cool. It’s slightly difficult when people assume that your life will be complete, or everybody’s life will be complete, if this band from 25 years ago reforms. Life doesn’t need that to happen for things to be okay — really, surely. My goodness, go and see the Dalai Lama or something; that’ll make you feel better.” Johnny Marr on how there will never ever ever be a Smiths reunion (and why that’s OK) 130226 what's it to you? who go blather from
