Angels Have No Gender!

Yes, still plowing through Tony Fletcher's great book on The Smiths.  There is something interesting on just about every page. Nicely written. What a band. Sometimes the more you know about an artist or band, the less you like them, and sometimes the more you know, the more you like them.  For me, it's the latter. Morrissey and Marr are both really fascinating characters. Very similar backgrounds, totally different personalities. Great complementary talents. And their songwriting collaboration was one of the great wonders of the world. They were both in bands before The Smiths, and it's kind of a lucky thing that those bands never made it.  Love the names. Marr was in White Dice and Freak Party... and Morrissey was in Ed Banger and the Nosebleeds and, get this, absolutely love this one... Angels Have No Gender!
