There behind the lectern Marr He referred to the importance of the 'outsiders'in the music business, as well as the camaraderie he had with Morrissey when composing and writing songs.
He also took the opportunity to criticize the British music industry.

"The British music industry has never, ever created anything ... never innovated anything. It is true that it has made several innovators famous, but everything of value always came from the 'outsiders'.
At the Smiths, I wrote the songs for the other three - and not for the industry - because they were my best friends, and that's the important thing ... with Morrissey there was always a telepathic connection
