"A teenage girl is crying cause she don't look like a million dollars/So help her if you can/Because she don't seem to have the attention span" Wow, these lyrics are especially relevant in the present context. I don't know much of Elvis Costello's music, so I'll listen to that song. Thanks

An excellent overview of The Smiths. And Strangeways as the focal point is perfect, for all the reasons you state and it is also my favorite. The Costello connection is a good one and makes such sense. Maybe there is a Costello video in your future? Just discovered your channel and subscribed based on this video. I look forward to watching more.

'Unhappy Birthday' is my least favourite Smiths track - it's almost a self-parody. I'd say 'Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now' is the most quintessential Smiths song, gallows humour at it's finest. 'Last Night I Dreamt' is magical. Good video

Aah...you've illuminated the shy bald buddhist lyric, I have been trying to fathom that for years. His diction falters slightly in places on some Smiths records, probably because he insisted on going with the 1st vocal take, after the producer on the fitst album made him do many retakes which, beyond a certain point, kills the feeling. So he often sounds raw and slightly off key at times. On TQID title track his voice cracks, but it was kept in presumably at his insistance. Obvioulsy these technical glitches aren't very important. I think they were far and away the best British group of the 80's, ranking alongside the very best . Strangeways is a strange beast for me. Johnny was clearly moving away from the jangle, with it's previously unique shapes into more conventional chord patterns, and sometimes his straight rock roots were showing, in the later days. Note also the sophisticated production on Strangeways. It was probably a conscious attempt to lead the band upwards career wise, it worked...but Johnny and probably Morrissey knew, that the band was the gem at the heart of British alternative music. Their aesthetic would be lost...Johnny appalled to be the leader of a sub Smiths jangle cult. Anyway great to hear your formidably insightful obsevations on Strangeways. Andy Rourke told me he loved my album, and played a track on his NY radio show. Let's Create Our Own World is my call to arms...lots of music and film on the way, some already extant, Tik Tok of all places is humming as I begin to move forward but there is some stuff on YT, etc onwards and upwards. Please delete when you have read this, Marc Lemon. Ps Stop Me is my favourite on the album, it is curiously tense, maybe very compressed, and with the subject matter and high vocal pitch adding to the effect. I Won't Share You is a lute, an ancient thing Johnny found in the sudio. All the best, Marc

I may be in the minority, but Get Happy from Elvis Costello and the Attractions is my favorite Costello album. Micro Grooves and all. And Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke were the Smiths' underated rhythm section.

The Smiths were the perfect definition and completely justified the way people view a band as a *UNIT* that it is greater than the sum of its parts

This message comes from your biggest fan's social media team. We regret to inform you that Father Heinrich (Aka Gordon Lighfoot) has tragically passed away yesterday at the young age of 84. He was such a big fan of ACIB, he even said he would've bought your merch if and when you had some. We will continue to comment on your videos in memory of Father Heinrich. Now we know that he is up in a better place with the "Chad in the bottom right", his favorite person. We are sorry he never revealed his identity to you, he was scared you wouldn't approve Cheers, Father Heinrich Jr.

*Interesting that the term 'overcame' is used in reference to Rough Trade (as if they were some kind of impediment to their success). Only Morrissey had any slight against them, that was used only to justify any sort of negativity bubbling within his 'young bones'*
