You didnt miss anything.

You have a whinge when people do that on your topics - comment when disinterested - but did you listen to the lyrics of the song you posted

Not depressing

But poignant and relevant to many on this site

 

If you're so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
 

And if you're so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
 

If you're so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
 

If you're so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight ?
 

I know...

 

… 'Cause tonight is just like any other night
 

That's why you're on your own tonight
 

With your triumphs and your charms
While they're in each other's arms..."
 

It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
Over, over, over over

What's not to love?

The Smiths always remind me of Bart Simpson's assessment of Nirvana:

 

"Depressing Teenagers? That's like shooting fish in a barrel".

Most people forgot The Smiths after 1985. Depressing downbeat music.

Well don't go.

 

My God, get away from your computer dude.

Not in top 100

Led 14 ? The list sucks

Some truly awful choices in that list.

 

No accounting for taste I guess. 

Hank Williams #74    Surely you jest

Post Smiths. Great lyrics.

Love his music.

Surprised he's still touring.

He's a young pup compared to some still touring  -  Springsteen, Stones, Neil Young, McCartney.

I used to go to the Winter Gardens in Margate quite often to see bands.

The Smiths performed there in 1985 or thereabouts.

I wasn't overly enthusiastic about going to see them, but I was really glad that I did.

It was a great night.

He’s miserable now. Why should I be made to feel the same?

[Jack Batty]

Well, I guess I know where I will be on November 18th, My favorite singer, from my favorite band, of all time. Great music.  I’ve seen him four times, but alas, never got to see The Smiths live.

I missed him a couple of years ago due to Covid. I can't make it tomorrow, sadly.
