I decree today that life
Is simply taking and not giving
[Kansas City] is mine -- it owes me a living
But ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye
Oh, ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye

--The Smiths, "Still Ill"

  2. I love the Smiths! "How Soon is Now" got me hooked when I was about 15.

  4. "I was happy in the haze of a broken hour, and heaven knows I'm miserable now".

    Who couldn't dig that kind of angst?

    Smiths ruled...Morissey whined...and ladies swooned. And not a few girlie-men.

    "Meat is Murder" channeled that anti-LSD movie where the ladies hot dog comes to life.

    "thirtysomething" portrayed Smiths self-absorbed and self-flagellant lyrics as full one-hour shows...in prime time. And sponsors ponied up the big bucks.

    Angst sells...in brief spurts.
