It's interesting to see how every Smiths-fan somehow has a Smiths-moment where they first heard them and it changed life. It's like hearing people from the 60s talk about when Kennedy got shot. You remember exactly where you were etc. no matter how long ago it is.
Fantastic to see how the Smiths changed so many lives and helped so many people deal with it. What band can say that that's in the charts now? He was exactly right on today's indie bands. Many try to imitate, but they never quite get it etc. etc. etc.

Star Hits had discussed Morrissey and the Smiths at great lengths- I recall this little magazine describing the Smiths live in concert; they stated that Morrissey moved his hands like a butterfly's wings. The articles also described Morrissey's voice as one filled with heartache and beauty.
After looking at the odd cover of the LP, I bought it with my newspaper route money. I also bought The Queen is Dead. I could not wait to discover the mysteries inside.
I, too, enjoyed a secret world made just for me courtesy of Morrissey and friends.
Now I am 29, and quite a collector. These CD's bring me great comfort 365 days a year.
Love,
Ken

I always enjoy reading how The Smiths played a part in others lives and how the isolation and confusion we all shared was made a bit more bearable by playing those records.
