....A long time back, I was reading the Book "Beyond Belief" ( Sorry, forgive me, I forget the Authors name) about the "Moors" Murders, which ( as we know..) clearly inspired some of Morrisseys early writing.
In one of the chapters, the people who rang the police to inform on Hindley and Brady were named "The Smiths"....It jumped out from the page at me, and I saw a "connection"....I would really like to ask Morrissey if that is where the name came from.....
Just off to "Google" the Authors name....back ( hopefully) with an "Edit" soon.....
EDIT:- Emlyn Williams. Fantastically well written book. Perhaps a Bit "Harrowing" if you've never read this true account before, but recommended anyway....
