grins It’s nice to see you do a fun post. (Well, as fun as a topic about the author of “Girlfriend in a Coma” can get, anyway.) :)

I can’t believe you didn’t have more response to this. Though I don’t think it is enough to make a shy bald Buddhist reflect and plan a mass murder or anything.

I think my favorite is “Suedehead” with “Every Day Is Like Sunday” “Interesting Drug” as close seconds. Of this last, he’s right: there are some bad, bad people on the Right.

Of course, Hubby and I enjoy “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out” as “our song” — especially now that there are double-decker tour buses in Washington. Terrible pointless video originally, though, so the clip is from a recent tour. (Also to show how he’s held up.)

I married a couple in their home last year, and this was the first song they played after the service, over drinks. (Our mutual musical tastes came up during the first interview.)

Suedehead is one of my favorites but I think Ask is my sentimental favorite.

It may be lame, becuase they may be the most mainstream Morrissey songs but my favorites are still “Tomorrow” and “Boy Racer”

Well, Katharine, it’s not fun, “it’s serious.”
