The Smiths maturing? The idea is intriguing. The possibilities for improvement are there, but how’s this going to affect frontguy Morrissey, you might wonder. He’s come on like an observant innocent from the start and his honest petulance has been part of his appeal for his sizable cult audience, even as it turns off others.

The Smiths maturing? The idea is intriguing. The possibilities for improvement are there, but how’s this going to affect frontguy Morrissey, you might wonder. He’s come on like an observant innocent from the start and his honest petulance has been part of his appeal for his sizable cult audience, even as it turns off others. His slightly I larger/stranger than life image is 1 part of what’s helped the Smiths 1 rise above the pack of postI Orange Juice hummable/strumI mables who’ve been showing up 1 all over the British Isles during 1 the past few years. What if he I should (shudder) grow up or 1 what if he gets so crazy he 1 scares everyone away?
