Pfft to James Joyce. Today is the twenty-fifth anniversary of the release of the third album by The Smiths, “The Queen Is Dead.” (Thanks to Sunlighters past and present for the info.) It’s hard to think of an album that makes as much a daily impact upon me. Gen-Xers, do I tell the truth?
And while I love “Bigmouth Strikes Again” “Frankly, Mr. Shankly” Â “Some Girls Are Bigger than Others” and “The Boy with the Thorn in His Side” (2 Corinthians 12:7?) the one song I’d rescue from a burning building is “There Is a Light that Never Goes Out.”
There have to be other couples who get sappy and affectionate at the thought of being crushed by a double-decker bus because of this song.
(For you David Tennant fans, and those who didn’t get the “Viva Laughlin” reference during NPH and Hugh Jackman’s duet on the Tonys. This is from “Viva Blackpool” (US)/”Blackpool” (UK) from which it was based.)
Some girls’ mothers are bigger than other girls’ mothers. 🙂
I’m so sharing the Blackpool video with David, Jim, and Theresa. They’re all Doctor Who fans. I like the show well enough, but they like it more.
