I'm still a fan of those early Psychedelic Furs albums and saw them twice.  The second time (November, 198) at the Kabuki Club in San Francisco.  I took a short walk before the show and about 1/2 block from the door, I saw John Ashton emerging from a bar.  He was all punked out and walked with this aggressive penguin-like stride.  As we passed, he shot me a quick glaring glance and just sneered at me.  A few steps later, I looked back over my shoulder and with a big grin simply said, "Alriiiiiiight!"  That was so cool!  It was like being in a movie.

And then as I approached the venue entrance, a gray limo swooped up to the front door and out of the back popped Richard Butler.  A rather attractive blonde groupie called out saying, "Oh Richard, I'm So-and-so, you know, Stacy's friend."  Butler threw out his hands dramatically and yelled out, "HAHA!  Of course! Evvvvvvvery body is my friend!  HAHAHAHA!", and ran off into the club.  Awesome! 

Sounds like quite a night! It’s always fun having memorable encounters to share.

Great song, great pick.  The Bangles ladies added some terrific contributions to this marvelous and unique album that you would probably enjoy:

I have disdain for The Smiths, most notably Morrisey...  I do realize the great musical impact they had on the world though so for that I get it.

Great song!  I had the LP for a while but that was the only song I liked and it got a lot of radio play anyway so I let the LP go.

Hah very fair. I can see how Morrissey would irritate some. Not my favorite by any means, but as you said, in a discussion of the decade worth at least one post.

I'm not a Morrissey fan and pretty much just neutral-- although I do like his contributions to 2005 rockumentary "New York Doll" (great film!)-- but why the hate for the guy?

I could be wrong, but I think I remember him getting hate for his outspokenness on topics such as race and pop culture. Also being somewhat of a diva. Maybe he enjoys stirring the pot 🤷🏻‍♀️ Got him attn that’s for sure. I’m also indifferent on the matter

Interesting.  I haven't heard anything about him having unpopular takes on certain issues.  But like you, not invested enough to really care either way.
