Johnny Marr and Bernard Sumner just did a chat on the Top of the Pops website (Apr. 21). I missed most of the chat and what I did see was mostly uninteresting but one of the final questions was:

Question: What are your personal feelings about the court case with Mike Joyce.

Marr: Um, I feel that it was ugly and unnecessary. A real shame that over the last few years I've been asked more about that case than the songs I've produced. Midway through the case I really did feel that I wanted to stop the case and get everyone to agree that we did have a good time in the Smiths after all. I don't hold any animosity to anyone, but it was such a shame. On a personal level I wish them luck, but they've got personal agendas that I can't relate to.

Read the full chat log on the TOTP site.

Also, from Sweetness:

J.Marr and B.Summer were in Cologne on 20th April, and gave an interview for radio Einslive. They talked most of the time about the new Electronic album. Morrissey was only mentioned once: J.Marr was looking at old Smiths pictures and said that he was young during this era and it was no wonder that his mother was worried about him hanging out with Morrissey!
