Eh? I remember the first Smiths album getting a monumental level of word of mouth, and being one of the most anticipated releases in years off the back of Hand In Glove, This Charming Man, What Difference Does It Make? and their b-sides.
Zero airplay and promotion? What nonsense.
where did kristeen young's album debut on the charts?
unlike morrissey, she had a television appearance with Dave Grohl & Pap Schmear for christsakes!
foo fighters fans' comments on youtube were far crueler than any smiths fans have ever been.
And yet, you cite zero evidence of them receiving any airplay from that time period (naturally, because they didn't get any) and use a poor excuse like "word of mouth" to try and make your non-argument, as usual.
So you're wrong again, I'm afraid.
I found the countries he mentions and thank interesting. All of them except for Israel are peaceful countries in general never involved in any major wars. Not many of those countries generated any chart success this time for him. Seems like they are countries that he sees as some sort of good example.
I wouldn't call the Falklands war a real war as it was over in a tea break with argentine military throwing their weapons and running as the brits arrived.
