wow this couldn't have been more comprehensive. given the subject matter i moped around a lot while reading even though it was very well written and actually made me reconsider the band in retrospect -- which is no small feat considering that i've been a fan for ages and (wrongly) thought i'd come to terms with the band's legacy and what they mean to me personally. in conclusion, the smiths: still means a whole fucking lot. Fun to remember all those great Smiths songs. Also didn't realize how young they were at the time. (Barely in their twenties.) Which I guess explains why the Smiths were so annoying as people. They screwed over EVERYONE they had contact with. A trainwreck really, in terms of how to conduct a band. And yet: all those gorgeous songs. Really glad I read this. Really glad I didn't know anything about them when I was a superfan back in the day.
Over 100 pages in and savoring every moment. I think to myself: ONLY 600 odd pages left.
