Morrissey is a total dick but I adore him. If you can get past his... Morrissey-ness, he's a great songwriter.

Sarah Harmer is so talented.  This is a live performance of a tune from her latest album "Oh Little Fire."

I guess it's time for me to try to like Morrissey again.  There are certain musical artist that are highly revered, but he just doesn't do anything for me.  From time to time I spend a little bit of time trying to get into them.  It's been awhile since I tried with Morrissey. Welp, wish me luck.

Okay, I got 4 songs into it when somebody posted something on Facebook that made me think of Neil Young.  I gave it my best shot.  We'll try it again next year maybe.

My opinion is that Morrissey sucks, but Johnny Marr is awesome. I will listen to the Smiths for Johnny Marr.

Well yeah, I was listening to The Smiths, which strikes me as good at times, but I can live without it.

I am to Morrissey like Waylon Smithers is to Malibu Stacy.  There's no accounting for taste though, so why try to like something?  Everybody has got some canonical, highly revered musical acts that just don't turn them on.  Loving every word of Morrissey, every facial tic, every mic cord whip, every inlaid in-joke, every subtle homage to some forgotten cultural obscurity and every withering tongue-in-cheek pronouncement comes easily to me.

I have no interest in starting a Morrissey vs. Marr debate, but I don't understand how you could listen to the Smiths if you hate Morrissey. Unless you like scrub his voice or something.

It's like eating a hot fudge sundae for the ice cream even though you hate hot fudge. Morrissey is in nearly every bite.

I actually hate (by hate I mean the dude is overrated) Johnny Marr.  I am pretty neutral on Morrissey, but man, Johnny Marr ain't that good.  I think this sums up why The Smiths are good:

Bass and drums mother fuckers.

Also, you'se guys know the Hitch Hike story?  Marvin Gaye had a song called Hitch Hike.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwvHfwDfapI  Then the Stones covered it and added this sweet ass riff http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmkU3yg4lK0 Then the Velvet Underground stole that sweet ass riff for There She Goes Again http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOrwJ7HHyyE  Then the Smiths stole it for the intro of There is a Light That Never Goes Out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INgXzChwipY

That is my favorite riff story in rock history.

I'd made the connection between Hitch Hike and There She Goes Again but I wasn't familiar with the Stones cover and would never have made the Smiths connection. That's rad.

That song by the Smiths perfectly encapsulates I think why I love them so much and why other people don't.

I mean, "and in the darkened underpass I thought oh God my chance has come at last, but then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask." That's as perfect as rock lyricism gets in my mind, but I can see why people hate it.

But you're right, their rhythm section doesn't get nearly enough credit. There are excuses enough for everybody to love the Smiths.

it is funny that that is the song you post, because I freaking love the guitar on that track.

Started re-reading this book I read about the delta blues in high school... looks like I'm going on another unstoppable acoustic blues kick.
