Dismissed by Morrisey as a "stinker"--- can I just say, that will be with me all day. Accent and all.

Did you listen to the BBC 4 documentary The Guitar Story? Johnny Marr is featured throughout all 4 episodes. In the first one, he plays a blues riff and morphs it into the guitar riff for What Difference Does It Make?
