Also, I saw the Smiths once and he was the single most self indulgent performer I have ever seen, posing and preening and forgetting his own words. He seemed to resent being there, to hate the audience, to despise his band mates. He was present to collect a check. I stopped paying attention to the Smiths back then, Morrissey solo I'd not even bother to hear.
