The Smiths: the riches of the poor

Oh I like The Smiths too, and have the albums and a bunch of old 12" singles. I saw them once and only once at a big place in Birmingham, the Hippodrome I think, which was the Meat Is Murder tour. I never anticipated an album so much as The Queen Is Dead. They never quite improved upon it.

Very enjoyable to read this thread upside-down and see all the song title puns. I would never stoop so low as it would get me into a Panic (probably my favourite song).

If you get the chance to read Moz's Autobiography I am not sure I'd recommend it, he is certainly not modest or tactful. Which I admire... but Johnny Marr's book was much better.

All the best, D (the Last In The Gang to join the thread - for now)
