Though not sure Soccer Moms wouldn't know about him given that The Smiths are from the 80s.

Then I probably know some of their songs and just don't know that it's them since I never pay attention to that stuff.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Fair enough. :)

Um, for the old Soccer Moms type out here... Who's Morrisey? :unsure:

Yeah, no idea who he is. Sounds like a good thing. :)

Only song you'd likely recognize is How soon is now.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I once told Brazen that The Smiths' songs all have the same tune (or, none, for that matter) and she hated me. :(

I kept listening to "Panic" on loop during the last year's London riots.  :ph34r:

Yes.  He's half the man Jarvis Cocker is, and The Smiths never did anything close to Different Class.

 :lol:
Your Anglophilia is shallow.  Jarvis Cocker is/was the lead singer of Pulp, Different Class was their best album.  I think of them as the 90's answer to The Smiths-all of Britpop was influenced by Morrisey, but Pulp was funnier and smarter than anything associated with that wretched man was ever able to be.  Some of the songs-most notably Common People-are also just way, way more fun than The Smiths.

Queequeg is languish's Morrisey.
