He didn't really. It was an allegory for how much he hated black people.

It's OK.
He got his emotions on paper by writing in the persona of a girl, apparantly.
"that 1985 NME list was a huge influence on my listening habits - and I actually feel kind of grateful to them for publishing it. It's no exaggeration to say that (indirectly) it brought me enormous pleasure over many years."

Well I always assumed I Started Something I Couldn't Finish was about his masturbation exploits so clearly he was releasing during this period. (And of course he finished... the grunts gave that away)

Sometimes , yes ...
Girl afraid
Where do his intentions lay ?
Or does he even have any ?
She says
He never really looks at me
I give him every opportunity
In the room downstairs
He sat and stared
In the room downstairs
He sat and stared
Ill never make that mistake again !
Ill never make that mistake again
Ill never make that mistake again
Boy afraid
Prudence never pays
And everything she wants costs money
But she doesnt even like me !
And I know because she said so
In the room downstairs
She sat and stared
In the room downstairs
She sat and stared
Ill never make that mistake again !

Let U be the set of all united sets, K be the set of the kids and D be the set of things divided.
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D

It's not, and I'm a fan. The problem is that The Smiths didn't do things conventionally - all the studio albums are patchy. I think Strangeways is just one big patch, but others like it, I know. TQID and MIM are just so hit and miss - stuff like Cemetry Gates and Nowhere Fast are pleasant enough, but nowhere near what they could do, which was all too often found on B sides - hence many people rating LTB and HOH as their essential records. The first album doesn't have a less than brilliant song (though Miserable Lie can catch the wrong mood at times), but is famously produced in an ill-fitting manner.
Album: The Smiths (but I prefer the two comps)
Song: Wonderful Woman
Spot on.
I miss Roddy.

Roddy’s doing OK. I’ll be seeing him in the next few weeks hopefully. He was shortlisted for the T. S. Eliot Prize but didn’t win it. His collection, So Glad I’m Me, is full of references to pop music and every BCBer should have it. I remember seeing an early pamphlet where one of his poems was pubished alongside an Ian Curtis lyric – he was really happy about that and there’s no other poet in the anglosphere that has his knowledge or appreciation of music. Maybe there’s a Dylan-Nobel backlash going on. He told me Buying Shoes for Alex Chilton was inspired by me! Not that I can see it.
And that first Smiths album - still fantastic - I never tire of it.
