what does it all mean (Score:1)
What is gained from this? Do they pay him a bunch of money for signing up with them? Do they OWN him now?
He's looking forward to some great collaborations.
Does that mean Sanctuary will assign him to help write songs for others on their label? Like an in-house song-doctor for Sanctuary artists? Or what? I know nothing about the music biz.
Does it mean he's more secure/permanant in Morrissey's band, or does it mean he's going his own way?
Boz co-wrote several of the top songs of Morrissey's solo years, and several of the most average ones. He has the proven talent for writing terrific music for Morrissey, however he should learn to hold back songs that are just average, since the standards for working with Morrissey should be perfectionistic. Give the average songs to Adam Ant, Guana Batz, Evan Dando, and the like, thank you.
If Alain is gone, would Boz be able to co-write a top album of 10 or 11 tracks? Even while he's doing other collaborations? Or would he write an album with 3-4 top songs and the rest uninspired filler? We demand 10-12 GREAT songs for a proper Morrissey album.
Is Alain gone??? (People will ask Alain at his new band's show TOMORROW, right?)
If Alain's gone, someone new probably needs to come in who can write some top songs with Boz. I realize people never give Alain proper credit, but his boots would be tough to fill. Of course we haven't heard the results of Boz attempting to write an entire album for Morrissey. Maybe it would be marvelous. Maybe he'd even produce the whole thing too, and blow us away. I know he has it in him. I just think he sometimes settles for mediocrity.
And of course Alain might still be with Morrissey. Perhaps he just doesn't like touring anymore or something. That's kind of sad if he doesn't like to play for us live anymore!!! :(

No Contract for Alain? (Score:1)
But no Sanctuary contract offer for Alain...strange. Another sign of a permanent separation?
Those of you that went to (are now at?) Red Lightning's gig, give us a comprehensive report will you?

my take on the Alain situation (Score:0)
My guess is that Alain couldn't bear the idea of not playing live anymore, and Morrissey had to find a new guitarist. Bernard Butler would have been ideal as it's well documented he doesn't like playing live, but that he's great in the studio.
Anyway, it looks like Boz will be his major co-writer for the next album. If that means an album of "Teacher" "Speedway" and "Now My heart Is Fulls" that's great, but let's hope he avoids too many of the generic tunes he's been churning out recently. I always thought Boz wrote the most adventurous Morrissey records.
