A massive "what if" moment in rock history! This Short reveals that shortly after leaving The Smiths, guitar legend Johnny Marr was nearly recruited by Paul McCartney!

The unusual connection? Linda McCartney, impressed by The Smiths' stance on vegetarianism ("Meat Is Murder"), facilitated the audition. Marr spent hours jamming Beatles classics with Paul! This clip from the 1989 World Tour (where Paul was interviewed at The Forum) provides context for the intense musical cross-pollination that defined this era.

Would Johnny Marr have been the perfect fit for Paul McCartney's band? Join the debate! ????
