[Pokey]

This isn't anything new, he said that a few years ago that he'd not go past 55 which makes it 2014, but I'll honestly believe it when it happens. Literally after every single tour the rumours start dating back to the late 80s when he finished the last gig of a tour and while crying said "there are goodbyes and there are farewells, this is farewell". Fast forward over 20yrs later and it hasn't happened.

It's interesting because he's said a few times that he is writing an autobiography and I would assume when that comes out that it would be close to the end. I do believe that when he does pull the pin he'll do it for good, heaven and earth can't make him do anything he doesn't want to. The amount of money and oppertunities he's had to reform the Smiths and he's turned it down again and again makes you think he is set to do things his way. But he likes to keep the mystique and keep people guessing so until he says "that's it, I'm done", then I take everything with a grain of salt as a ploy on his part.

He's still without a record deal and so has all this material frustratingly ready to go but he refuses to DIY and I don't so much believe that he "can't find" a deal and that "nobody wants him" so much as probably money was on the table for him to take but he probably didn't like the guy's tie and so he turned it down. He's a diva.

So I'm not fussed really, these rumours are a dime a dozen in Moz land, just some happen to catch mainstream media more than others.

Dimi who's his lover in Rome?
