Did he take more than a bite or two? Then he's a dang liar! In his autobiography, you'll recall that Keith went on at some length about how we're conditioned in our eating habits to be good little worker bees and have our three full meals at the appropriate time. He bucks this system by only eating when hungry and only a few bites until satisfied.

QuoteStoneage I don't think The Smiths or Morrissey were ever big in the USA. Neither were britpop. So, basically I don't think americans understand the Morrissey phenomena. There are rock bands who never made the Top 40 charts in the U.S. but still had a passionate following and very significant influence. The Smiths were well known & loved on the American indie scene.

QuoteBig Al My own favourite from this decade are The Smiths. They were definitely, in my opinion, one of the very finest single and LP’s acts of the decade. They had an ace axe-man in Johnny Marr – someone who created musical landscapes and such colourful instrumental passages – and in Morrissey, a lyricist so out-there and the tailor-made pop-star for the NME-buying public of the 80’s.
