oh the good life is out there somewhere......

I have been on a serious Smiths kick lately. I have been listening to them at home, in the car, in the office, in my head when I can't listen to them out loud. I even did a little karaoke number with friends to a Smith's song a few weeks ago. I think that Morrissey is amazing, and I hope to be able to see him live one day. I know that I will never ever see The Smiths and that's ok, because I totally understand where Morrissey is coming from.

On being offered a reported $5 mil to play at Coachella - "No, because money doesn't come into it." He further explained, "It was a fantastic journey. And then it ended. I didn't feel we should have ended. I wanted to continue. [Marr] wanted to end it. And that was that."

"I feel as if I've worked very hard since the demise of The Smiths and the others haven't, so why hand them attention that they haven't earned? We are not friends, we don't see each other. Why on earth would we be on a stage together?"

Here is one of my favorite songs, from their first album, which was released in the glorious year of my birth. The people that work around my office are probably SO sick of this song by now, I spent 13 hours in my office today, with The Smiths on heavy rotation........it kept me from going Office Space-where's my stapler, and burning the whole place down..............nighty-night kitties
