The Smiths "Ask" Review

The Smiths “Ask” (Rough Trade)

This time “it’s the bomb that’ll bring us together" according to that steaming great woman’s blouse Morrissey. (That's v. sexist - a woman’s blouse.) I really never feel miserable enough to have to listen to a Smiths record. Perhaps I don’t “think” enough or something. We’ve all spent days on end locked up in our bedrooms trying desperately to convince our parents that we’re depressed and we’ve all gone through stages of being enamoured by James Dean or Oscar Wilde or someone or other, so what’s so flippin' marvellous about Morrissey who makes a living out of doing the same, I “ask” you?
