The Smiths were in their pomp in 1985. Meat is Murder. Morrissey flouncing around in big blouses. On Top of the Pops and when he wasn't in Geoff Travis complaining about the chart position of That Joke isn't Funny Anymore or Shakespeare's Sister. He was a difficult man to keep pleased.
Even for a complete standout band Boy With The Thorn In His Side sounded remarkable. It had wings of its own. Focussing on one of Morrissey's bugbears, the anxiety of representation. Beeing musindersood.In Johnny Marr's words, 'it was an effortless piece of music with an effortless spirit.'
