Jose Molina sends the link to an article by writer Michael Cunningham ("The Hours") on the Philip Glass site. The Smiths are mentioned as an influence on his book "Flesh And Blood". Excerpt from the article:
Each novel I've written has developed a soundtrack of sorts; a body of music that subtly but palpably helped shape the book in question. I don't imagine most people who've read any of my books could readily see their connections to particular pieces of music, but I have long been aware that A Home at the End of the World evolved, in part, from Laurie Anderson's Big Science, Joni Mitchell's Blue, and the Mozart's Requiem; that Flesh and Blood derived from the operas of Verdi, Neil Young's After the Gold Rush, several albums by The Smiths, and Jeff Buckley's cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah; and The Hours from Schubert (particularly Death and the Maiden), Brian Eno's Music for Airports, Peter Gabriel's Mercy Street, and, for reasons I can't begin to explain, Radiohead's OK Computer. The one constant since I started trying to write novels, however -my only ongoing act of listening fidelity- has been the work of Philip Glass.

Glass and Moz. (Score:1)
Glass worked with David Byrne in the 80's.
Somehow,I don't think it will happen though.
