    They refer to cars and sometimes girls. They are not really about either.

    Whether the Smiths were any good or not is, of course, a matter of taste and opinion. In my universe they might have been quite good had that complete pillock not been their singer.

    And I never felt under any pressure from that corrupt and pretentious rag to like or dislike anything on their say so. I only ever really read the letter from John Connolly, New Barnet at the end each week anyway.

    Well, no. Because without Morrissey, they wouldn't have been The Smiths. They'd have been Johnny Marr and some other cvnt. And that's never worked out particularly well if you ask me.

    But the world would have been a better place because I wouldn't have that self-obssessed wobbly-voiced cùnt's vocal in my head RIGHT NOW.

    You love it, you slag!

    Morrissey is a unique gift to popular music.

    Yes, and he's friends with Pamela Anderson. You have to respect that.
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    I was listening to the guitar instrumental on Radioheads, knives out, the other day. The bit at the end where Yorke stops his suicidal wailing. A very Smiths type passage of music.

    So, what difference does it May-ee-ake? Oh-ho-oh

    Done a recent revisit of the 1978-81ish era. You'd be hard pressed to find better than Pretenders, imo. Early early stuff. Refreshing to listen to a female singer so unashamedly heterosexual.

    Agreed, Chief. Loved Chrissie Hynde since school.

    What difference does it make?

    Have you seen this, Chief? You'll love it. A fine piece of work, whatever one's political affiliations.
