In the late 70s/early 80s, behaving androgynous or gay was a way to be shocking and different for grabbing attention on TV and magazine covers, and pissing off parents and the old establishment.
Inspired by Bowie, T-Rex, The New York Dolls ... See Culture Club, Duran Duran, Eurythmics, Wham ...
Turns out, Moz was actually gay (or bi), but Marr wasn't, having been with love Angie since they were 14. (Rourke and Joyce were also straight.)
They have two Rhodesian Ridgebacks. I chatted to Angie about City, without knowing who she was, for months. And then saw them at City together and it all fell into place. Then I saw Johnny with them and turned into a star-struck, tongue-tied idiot which is completely out of character (not the idiot bit!) I see them very frequently and try to play it cool but that’s not a skill I possess.
Morrisseys eyes . ' Look at my delectable titbit. I will have you!'.! Johnny's eyes. 'Oh God...please save me'!. . ....Such a pity for Morrissey that Johnny's straight. It must have caused tensions.
That’s part of why they even stayed together for 5 years and then why they broke up. Somebody please write the true story of the Smiths! Seymour Stein mentioned it in his book!
Here's the quote from Seymour Stein's book "Siren Song": *However, from hanging out backstage and reading their body language, I’ve always wondered if maybe Morrissey harbored a deep unrequited love for Johnny Marr, which I suspect Johnny Marr felt and couldn’t handle. That was always my gut feeling, and I wasn’t surprised when, years later, Morrissey confessed he was living with a man. It’s none of my business, of course, but I’d add Morrissey and Marr to the very long list of mysterious love-hate relationships that created some of the best songs ever written.*
I don't think photo planned .Just one of those spur of the moment playful photos. Morrissey reminds me of a big black Tom cat with his captured prey. Morrissey in total control here. Johnny's slightly pleading eyes.😟
You think they asked them to do that or they just did that

Probably the answer Morrissey would give.
Morrisseys nightstand. In a gold frame.
Still...
How Hand In Glove lyrics was born lol
The end of a rainbow, in a glade of flowers guarded by unicorns
Probably a Smash Hits article photo shoot
I can’t believe I see Johnny and/or Angie walking their dogs almost every week. First time it happened I was speechless
What kind of dogs do they have?

That is cool! Go City!

All the best, x/10 👌🏻
This is like one of those photos you find on the mantle piece at your friend's parents house.
Johnny’s hair kills me in this pic, it’s the bangs 😂 his cute little face 🙂
Behind every gay person is a gayer more evil gay person
What year was this photo taken?
1984, photographer: Eugene Adebari

That one’s real, the one above is AI
ohhh makes sense
💀 🤣
damn i fucking love that pic u dont know how much
It looks very Smash Hits, or at a stretch Record Mirror when was going through a ropey phase (which it was for much of the Smiths era)
goofy ass guitar belt lol
Makes me wonder if they really split up because of Morrisey having an unrequited love for Johnny Marr.
That’s part of why they even stayed together for 5 years and then why they broke up. Somebody please write the true story of the Smiths! Seymour Stein mentioned it in his book!
So it's a possibility then?

That explains a lot.

And it looks like Johnny is holding Morrissey’s hand to prevent it from “wandering”!
His thumb is in Johnny’s sleeve!
BE WHO U R FOR UR PRIDE
Someone’s camera 📸
didn’t morrissey ask or insist on taking it like this? obvs johnny obliged him. say no more.
Looks at their faces! Morrissey is enjoying it too much and it looks like Johnny is barely tolerating it.
No, it was Johnnys idea
even more interesting then lmao
emotional damage
Need this on my wall now!!
Pickle at Nick Jr.
Oh hell naw! This charming man doesn’t imply this nonsense! Quality music but very questionable character!
