According to Joe Moss's accounts, all Morrissey's earnings were paid to his Mother. We have Joe's copies of the contracts and everything relating to his role, including the later disputes and legal actions. If The Smiths were to be seen as a 'cash cow' then there's a lot of people milking that cow these days. The individual band members are all subject to the music industry, which is a bit like a dairy farm, without their milk there is nothing to bottle.
