I was about 12 at the time. The Smiths played on my doorstep in 1985. I was still to appreciate the thrill of the live gig. "Oh momma let me go" and all that. "OK" she said. But being a contrary hormonal 15 year old boy I didn't go, just to be awkward. Stupid, stupid boy. <br /><br />Mike Joyce wisnae much of a drummer though!phil spectorhttp://philspector.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558790192994701740.post-27902561787269238022011-11-15T20:22:12.385+00:002011-11-15T20:22:12.385+00:00Sadly I never got to see them live.

Forget The Stone Roses reunion those are the two bands that everyone wants to see.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03958875416084119469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558790192994701740.post-3499456030358902022011-11-15T19:08:43.165+00:002011-11-15T19:08:43.165+00:00The Smiths.

You're totally right about Joyce and Rourke, the collective sound is utterly amazing. They will never be surpassed (not even by The Fall!).<br />theboywilsonthe boy wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05358925819386935948noreply@blogger.com
