Fact #169802

Grant Showbiz (soundman, The Smiths) : I can't remember Johnny ever being unable to play because of abuse. I can remember Johnny being very out of it, and Morrissey being very hard to get hold of. The amount of time it took to get Morrissey onstage was getting longer and longer. There was this great game he'd play of wanting to be asked 15 times, if it'd been 14 the night before. Johnny was like 'Let's Rock!' and Mozzer'd be 'Well, somebody's gotta ask me another seven times.'
