In the 1983 programme they had "This Charming Man" playing in the background. In the 1984 programme they had Marr who was talking about ties costing £4 and getting cheap retro Levis it is like he is on another planet he is funny. I thought Smiths fans wore trench coats? long coats, were quite "arty" and a bit depressed. I think I am very wrong and I didn't like The Cure or Indie music what is Indie music? I didn't like the group "They might be Giants" from America.What were Smiths fans like? you can't say they were all alike can you.
