On this very day, 30 years ago, kids' magazine Look-in published this "interview" with The Smiths. The thing I love about it, aside from the occasionally comedic answers, is that all four band members got an equal moment in the interview spotlight. I wonder what SPM made of Andy's liking for steak...?
I also love Johnny's hobby: "Playing guitar".
Anyway, here are the four tracks identified by the band as their favourite records:
Andy's choice
Morrissey's choice
Johnny's choice
Mike's choice
The title of this post comes from SPM's response when asked to name his favourite groups. I'm frankly amazed he didn't say "The Smiths".
All those years ago who could have foreseen the acrimonious break up and sad passing of Mr Rourke?
ReplyDeleteHowever an incredible legacy of songs and hard to believe we still go and watch SPM live!
And I didn't know until very recently that after they broke up, Mike auditioned to be the drummer for pre-fame Suede. But they thought he was a bit above where they were at the time, I think. Funny old world, eh?
DeleteThis must have been before he discovered the New York Dolls.
ReplyDeleteThe Seashells version of Maybe I Know is better than the Lesley Gore version I knew.
Everyday I Write The Book is a class choice.
Isn't it just?
