Boz's songs for You Are The Quarry (Score:0)
No offence to Boz, as he did write the brilliant 'Jack The Ripper' and the superb 'Speedway' amongst other things.
But his songwriting contributions to Quarry have been crap.
Let's hope Boz is back on form for the next album.
Jack the Ripper case solved! (Score:1)
Glad to see your talent as a songwriter being recognized in a more official capacity, with some media props -- you deserve it! You've written some absolute classics for Moz that will stand the test of time.
Cheers from Tokyo!

***************************************************************
April 22nd - Boz & The Boz -Men hit Green Bay Wisconsin on Wednesday 13th April 2005, this is the 2nd festival at The Oneida Raddisson hotel and it lasted 6 days with tons of great bands, old & new.
This event is held on an Indian Reservation in the middle of no-where and is organized by a great bunch of people of which there are to many to mention but I will have to put Marc & Melissa Mencher and their partner Phil from Green Bay up there at the top.
The festival is in a casino and is attended by Rockin' Folk from all over the world.
The first night Slim Jim (Stray Cats) asked us if we wanted to do a jam session at his gig which was held every night between 8pm & 12pm in the Casino bar. Boz,Deano & myself (Lyn) jammed through a couple of numbers which was a lotta fun.
After a quick run through on Thursday evening we got ready & the stage time for us was 1:30 am we played the big main hall. Boz & myself were joined by Dean (Kid Rocker Micetitch), Deano (Mozzer band) Butterworth and a great old friend Mr Lloyd Tripp of Zip-Guns fame.
The Boz-Men were ready & our old buddy Big Sandy introduced us to the crowd, 2 songs in the room was full and the crowd was buzzing.
It was great to see so many old friends and new ones too in the audience, they loved it and so did we. Our set was a very loud kind of British Rockabilly and we were helped along with our sound by Mr Ryan (Merle Haggards sound guy) who did a great job. I like to say thanks to all the gang that attended we had a ball ya'll, Cheers!!
Between the main acts in the big hall Boz DJ'd Friday and Saturday nights, mostly delving into his collection of original 45s hauled over for this purpose.
Saturday night Boz played in the Ronnie Dawson Tribute band with Eddie Angel & Jarko on Guitars, the great Lisa. P. on drums & the boys from High Noon..... various other musicians got up including myself to celebrate the life of our great & sadly missed Ronnie Dawson, I'm sure he would have approved.......
Cheers to all.

Admittedly, if you watch Boz play, he does strum like a wild man but that's not that hard to do.
Boz has some talent, he wouldn't have gotten as far as he did if he had none but if I were listing "best guitarists ever" it would be a long long long long long long long long long long long long time before I put his name down.

Mark E. Nevin said as much in the Jewel in the Crown DVD documentary. He thought Morrissey was joking when they said they were done.
And, to his credit, Nevin suggested (if only jokingly) to use Mick Ronson as the next producer.

Maybe now he will get to ride up front, maybe in the middle, snuggling close to Morrissey.

I've just been watching the Move DVD and little barry's guita really did add a lot to songs like "There is a light."
Listening to the Earls Court CD, it's obvious ALain's departure has improved their live sound.
On the other hand, who is going to write the songs?
While Alain has written some brilliant songs for Quarry, Boz has himself written some excellent pieces in the past - Now My Heart, Speedway, Teachers and Lifeguard Sleeping, among others.
