I really appreciate Rick’s question and Lisa’s response. I grew up in the 80s music scene in Scotland, but the 80s were magical years for music. One artist that really impressed me was Morrissey in The Smiths and this relates to both Rick’s question and Lisa’s response. In his Solo career, Morrissey said that all the Smiths songs were like an open diary of his own personal experiences. Morrissey only wrote about himself and this connection passed to fans. In those days I wondered, how could Morrissey be singing straight to me as he doesn’t know me. Of course he wasn’t, but his lyrics resonated very much with my own personal experiences at the time. The Smiths very vastly under-rated at the time and written off as depressing music, but their bursting onto the market killed many other bands inclusing Bryan Ferry’s Roxy music and Sting’s Police. Of course, at 60, Morrissey is still creating new albums and performing but I suspect that he will gracefully stop soon.
