Last year Johnny Marr remastered the Smiths catalog for the Smiths Complete boxset, and earlier this month all the remasters were released individually, so it seems a fitting time for major music publications to corner Marr and torture him about the Smiths. (No, I'm not complaining, but it must suck to be Johnny Marr having to answer these questions over and over.) A few days ago Spin published a piece on Marr talking about each Smiths record, and yesterday Rolling Stone posted their own feature on Marr talking about the remasters and (of course) the potential for a Smiths reunion. A few nuggets from the article are posted below:

On a potential Smiths reunion:

I don't know about the possibility, but what I do know is that I understand how great it would be to make so many people happy. And the other thing I know is that Morrissey and I are so very different. Those are the only things I know.

On being the one who broke up the band:

I had the foresight to see disaster looming - both for the individuals, personally, and the band, professionally. I had a lot of insight and wisdom for a 23-year-old.

On the rumors Morrissey and Marr were offered millions of dollars to reunite the Smiths:

Nothing really gets off the ground just purely because of money. Certainly, as I see it, so many other things would have to be fixed and we're just too different to get them fixed, it appears.
