The Smiths Refuse to Reunite for Hipsters

On This Date, March 17th in 2006: The Smiths turned down a $5 million offer to reunite as headliners of the Coachella Festival in California. Good for them.

Happy Birthday, Morrissey!

Andy, Johnny, Morrissey and Mike – The Smiths!

Morrissey (born Steven Patrick Morrissey), singer for The Smiths and worldwide Gay Icon was born on this day, May 22nd, in 1959. If you pay attention to this blog at all, or if you were lucky enough to know me back in the eighties, then you don’t need to be reminded of how important The Smiths were to me back in the day. I was so gay for them. Interviewing Smiths’ guitarist Johnny Marr was definitely one of the highlights of my life and career. Later on, I am going to play The Queen is Dead over and over until my eardrums cry out for mercy. Happy Birthday, Mozz!
