BACKSTAGE PASS

YOUR BACKSTAGE PASS TO:

JOHNNY MARR

San Diego, 1987. Before the show. Before the split.

Johnny Marr, candid and unguarded, just months before The Smiths came apart. No hindsight. No rewritten history. Just a raw conversation capturing the tension, emotion and headspace of a band nearing the end.

You know how it ended. This is what it sounded like before it did.

Unfiltered. Unedited. Unscripted. Unapologetic.

THERE’S 2 SIDES TO EVERY STORY

MORRISSEY — 1987 San Diego:

Before the Collapse, Part 1

“…if you can answer for everything you do, life is incredibly easy, as you can tell.

Look at me.” — Morrissey

The band that blew your mind. The song that changed everything. The show you’ll never forget. The Artist you’d kill to see just one more time. The haircut, the clothes, and the piercing you got to look like your favorite band. The money you shouldn’t have spent—but zero regrets.The love song that still burns when you hear it.

Everyone has that moment, share yours.

When & where was your moment?
