It's a catchy little gem and don't think it's ever been played live. Jesse was obviously inspired by First Of The Gang when he wrote this (you can tell during the song's chorus).
Speaking of the "well running dry," I think there was a reference in Mozipiedia to Johnny growing frustrated at the time of always having to be the one to come up with musical ideas. It makes you wonder if Stephen Street (and perhaps even Andy) would have eventually been asked to pitch in with...
I think the best way to “contain” Trump is to let him get reelected. This way, he will be reduced to “lame duck” status because of the two term limit, and then you will never have to worry about him being president again.
The more the Democrats and PMC try to pile on Trump and amp up the...
“The purpose of vaccination is to decrease the severity of diseases,” explained University of Tokyo virologist Kei Sato in JAMA. “Many people think that the purpose of vaccination is to prevent infection, but this is wrong.”
In 2021 that statement would be grounds for arrest, extraordinary...
Agreed wholeheartedly. I purchased Maladjusted a year after Quarry was released and, despite knowing it's lackluster reputation, was pleasantly surprised by it. I think it's a better album than Quarry. And Alma Matters is just as good of a single to me as IBEH and FOTGTD was, even if it has been...
I've always loved "Rank" and I think Craig is a big reason why.
I've always wondered why Craig wasn't contacted as a potential Johnny replacement in '87. I know they wanted Kevin Armstrong and even tried out Ivor Perry, but I think Craig would have made more sense being that he was already in...
Street revealed in The Jewel in the Crown documentary DVD that the recording sessions for Playboys/Interesting Drug basically turned into rehearsals for the Wolverhampton gig.
They genuinely love playing these songs and it shows.
It's also nice to see Craig fitting in so well. I didn't think he was particularly well-suited for lead guitar during the early Solo days but he's fantastic as a second fiddle -- both as a Smith and in Alain's band.
I do find it funny how Jesse always got harped on for not playing old Solo and Smiths songs correctly. And then when the new chick Carmen can barely play them at all, nobody seems to care.
The closest we came to an original Lads lineup reunion was in 1999 for the Oye Esteban tour. Had Morrissey never faxed his "Jew Boy" comment to Spencer which led him to quit one year earlier, it would have happened. And, presumably, the Boz/Alain/Gary/Spencer lineup would have went on to record...
