Orton
met ex-Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr backstage after one of her sets on the
1999 Lilith Fair. Introduced
through a friend, Orton immediately struck up
a conversation with the guitarist for the band she had an intense love/hate
relationship with as a teen in England.
"I was and I wasn't a
fan," she said of the Smiths. "They were everywhere, you couldn't
get away from them growing up in England, especially in a small town.
[But] I really liked him as a person when we met and we got on really well
and
we were talking, talking. Then
I asked him, 'So, what do you do, anyway?' I didn't know who he was. [When I
found out] I thought,
'Oh, f----ing hell!' "
Not
the least bit slighted, Marr hooked up with Orton at their hotel that night
and, with the help of
several
bottles of wine, began singing and playing their hearts out with
a promise that they'd work together someday.
