Set the Boy Free - Johnny Marr


I've been waiting a long time for this book.  You can read my 'Hooray!  Johnny's writing an autobiography!' post here.



I love Johnny Marr.

His life story proves that the heady combination of hard work and natural talent pays off.  Set the Boy Free follows Johnny from humble beginnings on inner-city Manchester estates to global fame and acclaim.  It's partly a 'rise of the underdog' tale, but it's also a love story between Marr and music.  As a creative person myself, I couldn't help but be inspired by his drive, his ambition, his self-belief, and also his ability to do things his own way.

I love Johnny Marr.

His total commitment to guitar and continual desire to bettering his playing, writing and producing is obvious through his musical catalogue, and although I'm a huge fan of The Smiths, there is so much more to Johnny Marr's career.  I read a review that complained there was too much music lingo in this book.  Erm ... hello? This is Johnny Fuckin Marr, a man who's dedicated his whole life to music. What did you expect?!

I love Johnny Marr.

His style and the influences he has drawn on in terms of clothes and image fascinate me.  From roll-necks and beaded necklaces to well-chosen knitwear, his style has evolved yet never deviated from something that is totally 'Johnny Marr'. There's something comforting in that.   Familiar.  And the way Johnny talks about clothes and style in the book is highly evocative.

I love Johnny Marr.

He comes across as very introspective and self-aware, constantly reassessing what he wants from not only his career, but also other areas of his life.  Reading Set the Boy Free, particularly the sections about Johnny's lifestyle change to a tee-total, marathon-running vegan, has encouraged me to think about the life I want for myself. 

I love Johnny Marr. 

I've always been fascinated by his relationship with wife Angie.  They are a rarity - a couple who met young, knew they wanted to be together and still are over thirty years on.  I loved the chance to learn more about their relationship, although the romantic in me would have liked to have more of this and also his relationship with Nile and Sonny covered in the book.

I love Johnny Marr.

I love Johnny Marr's autobiography.  It's insightful and easy to read and although I'd heard a lot of the stories before, it was nice to have a chronological version of events from Johnny's viewpoint. 

I love Johnny Marr.

I love Johnny Marr.

And did I mention I love Johnny Marr?!

  5. How I’m Recovering My Stolen Funds
    I’m still involved with the EIF School, but I’ve come to realize it’s a complete scam. I’ve reported them to the authorities and provided hundreds of screenshots as evidence. Unfortunately, I also took out a $600,000 loan to invest in their platform, believing it was a legitimate opportunity.

    According to ICHcoin, I can’t access the $8 million in my trading account until the loan is paid off. This was the moment I knew it was a scam. If withdrawals are truly subject to review, why wouldn’t they allow me to withdraw enough to pay off the loan and regain access to my account? It makes no sense, and I refuse to give them another dime.

    In total, I’ve lost $800,000 investing in their fake EIF token. It’s been a devastating experience, but I’m not giving up. I’ve opened a detailed case with my bank and the asset recovery team at TheHackersPro by emailing proh4ckz@protonmail.com. I provided all the evidence, including transaction details and screenshots, and their team has been incredibly supportive.

    They’ve already begun triangulating the funds from ICH’s outsourced wallets, and I’m hopeful they’ll be able to recover my stolen assets. Their expertise in blockchain forensics and asset recovery gives me confidence that justice will be served.

    Update: TheHackersPro has successfully traced the funds to the outsourced leveraged wallets, and we’ve just detached the first part of 6.4 BTC from our Exodus wallet. This is a huge step forward, and I’m grateful for their help.

    If you’ve been scammed by EIF School, ICHcoin, or any other fraudulent platform, I highly recommend reaching out to TheHackersPro. They’re professional, trustworthy, and truly dedicated to helping victims like me recover their funds.

    Contact them today:

    Don’t let scammers win. Take action and fight back with the help of TheHackersPro.

  7. I was exploited by CanCap Crypto Exchange and was made to invest $112,000 worth of Canadian dollars into crypto trading by this company.

Morphohack was able to recover my crypto successfully and has since been able to assist two of my partners in recovering their crypto from the CanCap crypto investment scam.

  10. I truly hope this message finds you in good spirits.

    I wanted to inform you of some fantastic news today: with the help of SPYHOST CYBER SECURITY COMPANY, I successfully retrieved my lost investment funds valued at $70,000 USD that was taken by scam syndicate called CBEX. It all began earlier last month when I was introduced to this fraudulent company known as CBEX by a close business associate who as well was not aware of this scheme being a scam. I fell for his deceptive promises and invested in the company. Thankfully, with the support of SPYHOST CYBER SECURITY COMPANY, I was able to uncover the scam before it was too late. The Experts successfully secured the funds quickly and effectively, and I am genuinely thankful for their expertise and support. Should you ever encounter or in a similar issue, you might consider reaching out to SPYHOST CYBER SECURITY COMPANY; I wholeheartedly recommend their services. The Expert's help was essential.

  11. As an accountant, I'm typically cautious with my finances. However, last year, I felt pressure to join the cryptocurrency market, fearing I'd miss out on potential gains. An Instagram ad for CBEX Trading caught my attention, with its professional website, real-time charts, and promising testimonials. A representative named Elena guided me through the platform, offering a $200 welcome bonus. Convinced by their promises, I invested $87,000 worth of Bitcoins.
    But when CBEX's website crashed, and all communication channels were severed, I realized I had been scammed. Devastated and lost, I searched for ways to recover my funds. That's when I discovered Morphohack, a reputable crypto recovery service. Their expertise and track record gave me hope.

    Morphohack's team worked diligently to track down my stolen bitcoins and successfully recovered it from the CBEX scam. I'm grateful for their exceptional service and expertise. Thanks to Morphohack, I was able to recover my losses. If you've fallen victim to a CBEX/PCEX Scam, I highly recommend Morphohack's services.

  12. I’m Gina Kelleher, a 42‑year‑old marketing consultant in Toronto, and I’ve always been the type to research every decision down to the smallest detail. When it came to crypto, I moved at a snail’s pace: years spent gauging trends, making tiny trades, and monitoring the market minute by minute. By December 2024, I finally felt ready. I consolidated everything, $625,000 in Bitcoin onto CBEX.cx, a platform that checked every box.
    One late February morning, I tried to log in and the site had simply vanished. No maintenance notice. No downtime alert. Just… gone. Initially, I chalked it up to an outage. But as hours stretched into days, the reality hit: CBEX.cx had crashed or worse, disappeared with millions of dollars in user funds. Online forums exploded with panic, and whispers of an exit scam circulated without confirmation. I was paralyzed. I immediately contacted lawyers, filed complaints, even reached out to other exchanges, but every lead fizzled out. “Crypto’s risky,” they told me. I refused to accept that as my final answer.

    Then I found Morphohack Cyber, a digital forensics team with a reputation for crypto recovery. I was wary, how many times had I heard empty promises? But Morphohack’s transparency stood out. They laid out their methods clearly and outlined realistic expectations.
    Within hours, they were deep in my case: tracing transaction trails, analyzing mixer patterns, and infiltrating shadow exchanges. Three days later, the call came: they’d located every Bitcoin.
    By the first week of March, my full $625,000 worth of bitcoins had been restored to my wallet.
    I’m more vigilant than ever now and deeply aware of crypto’s pitfalls. But thanks to Morphohack Cyber, I’ve also learned that help exists and sometimes, hope does too. If you’re facing a similar nightmare, don’t give up. Contact Morphohack via Morphohack@cyberservices. com

  13. I’m a 37-year-old marketing consultant from Berlin, and in 2024, I invested 4.8 BTC (about €300,600) into what I believed was a legitimate opportunity through HyperVerse. It looked promising at first—daily returns, active communication—but within months, the platform collapsed. My Bitcoin was gone, and I realized too late it was a Ponzi scheme.

    Refusing to accept the loss, I contacted Morphohack Cyber Service. Their team of crypto recovery experts carefully analyzed my case, tracked the stolen funds using blockchain forensics, and communicated with me every step of the way. After nearly four months, they recovered 3.9 BTC, around €366,200 (at the time of recovery) into a secure wallet.

    While I didn’t recover everything, I got back more than I expected. If you’ve been scammed in crypto, I highly recommend Morphohack. Their professionalism and results gave me a second chance.

  14. Due to a fraudulent cryptocurrency investing platform, my spouse and I lost $2.3 million worth of Bitcoin. We noticed a chance to invest in cryptocurrencies a few months ago with the potential to generate enormous returns. Without realizing it was all a fraud to steal our money, we placed a significant portion of our business and retirement funds on this platform after contacting a broker online who was posing as an account manager for a forex trading company. We tried to withdraw money for weeks, but this broker kept asking for more, until we were so indebted and broke that it felt like we were going to die. Luckily for us, we came across an article about Wizard James Recovery. We weren't in a rush to get in touch with them, but we did some research on their offerings and discovered that they could help us get our money back from these crooks. We got in touch with Wizard James, and within 72 hours, James was able to retrieve everything. This company thoroughly investigated the information we gave them and made sure that every penny was returned to us. It felt unbelievable that they were able to retrieve everything we had lost. We are extremely thankful of Wizard James Recovery's assistance and are sharing this with anyone who might benefit from their services.

  15. Wizard James Recovery is a reliable resource for recovering cryptocurrency, regardless of whether you were a victim of a cryptocurrency theft or transferred your funds to the wrong wallet address. The only trustworthy source for crypto recovery, in my opinion, is Wizard James recovery. After dealing with these so-called cryptocurrency investment forums for a few weeks, I experienced a cryptocurrency investment setback, losing over $345,400 of my money. This was bad because every hacker I asked for assistance with had a different way to demand money without giving me any good feedback. Through a referral, I was able to get in touch with Wizard James Recovery directly, which is how my cryptocurrency was returned back into my wallet address. I feel compelled to provide this review so that others can learn that Wizard James Recovery is knowledgeable, prepared, and ready to help anyone in a challenging circumstance like this. I've included the Specialist's direct contact details below: WIZARDJAMESRECOVERY@USA.COM.

  16. In March of this year, my Bitcoin wallet was hacked after I unknowingly clicked on a phishing email. Within moments, I was locked out of my wallet, which held approx $287,000 worth of BTC. The experience left me feeling angry, helpless, and deeply frustrated.
    I immediately sought help through the proper channels, reporting the theft to authorities, but they couldn’t assist with Bitcoin recovery. That’s when I was referred to a private investigator by a mutual contact. This investigator introduced me to Morphohack, a cyber recovery service. I was skeptical at first, naturally cautious after being scammed, but I reached out anyway.
    Morphohack responded quickly and professionally. After providing them with all the necessary documentation and wallet details, their team began tracing the movement of the stolen Bitcoin. Over the next four days, they worked to track the funds through the blockchain, using advanced forensic tools and strategies.
    To my relief, they were able to recover the bulk of the stolen BTC, about $269,000 worth. While a small portion couldn’t be retrieved, I was extremely grateful for the outcome and impressed by their transparency and expertise throughout the process.
    Morphohack not only helped me recover my assets but also guided me on improving my digital security to prevent future incidents. I highly recommend them to anyone dealing with crypto theft. Their support made a huge difference when I needed it most. Morphohack team can be contacted via E-mail: Morphohack@cyberservices(.)com

  17. I’m a businessman from Lynchburg, Virginia, and I’ve always had an eye for promising investment opportunities. A while back, I came across a cryptocurrency platform that seemed too good to pass up. It promised high returns, and in the beginning, it actually delivered. I saw my profits growing, everything looked legit, and I felt like I had made a smart move.

    But things slowly started to change.

    When I tried to withdraw some of the money, I ran into all kinds of roadblocks. First, they said I needed to pay a small fee. Then it was a tax. Then another fee for “unlocking” my account. Every time I asked questions, they gave me excuses that sounded just believable enough. I kept holding on, thinking I was close to finally cashing out.

    In total, I ended up putting in \$267,000—before I realized I was never getting it back. That’s when it hit me. I had been scammed.

    It was a devastating moment. I felt completely helpless. I had worked hard for that money, and now it was gone—just like that. But then I heard about SPYHOST CYBER SERVICES. At first, I didn’t know what to expect, but I figured I had nothing left to lose. I reached out to them and explained my situation.

    To my surprise, they were incredibly professional from the very beginning. They took on my case, broke everything down for me, and assured me they’d do everything they could. And they meant it. In just 72 hours, they recovered all of my funds. Every last cent.

    I honestly couldn’t believe it. After everything I’d been through, SPYHOST managed to turn the situation around completely. I’m beyond grateful to them for their expertise and the way they handled everything.

    If you’ve been scammed like I was, don’t give up. Reach out to SPYHOST CYBER SERVICES. They gave me hope when I had none left—and they delivered.
