“former front man for The Smiths”

I felt like I grew up in a closet.

Now I am glad I did.

Just WTF were the “Smiths?’

I am guessing used car dealership.

They were a moody, 80’s Britpop band, nothing terribly special.

Remember people in the 80’s-90’s that dressed as “goths” ? Black hair, makeup, spiked collars, that silliness? They were the kind of people who bough Smiths, and later solo Morrissey, records.

Fantastic alternative 80’s band. If you only listened to the radio you never would have heard of them...or of most of the great music in the 80’s for that matter which was never played on radio and the closest mainstream outlet was on 120 Minutes on MTV.
