Trivia / Johnny Marr

• Renamed to Avoid Association: Marr changed the spelling of his surname from "Maher" to avoid confusion with the Buzzcocks drummer John Maher.
• What Could Have Been: He was almost in the Happy Mondays. The band kidnapped him before they recorded their infamous last album Yes Please! in Barbados, but Johnny quickly dropped out after he arrived at the airport and realized how such an experience would be. He notes in an interview that he was in the band "for about 25 minutes".
