    Readers' Poll: 10 Bands Who Should Enter the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014 - Rolling Stone
    Your picks include Chicago, Deep Purple and the Smiths

    Excerpt:

    2. The Smiths

    Imagine the chaos that would erupt were the Smiths to ever get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It would make the Guns N' Roses situation seem like a bunch of hippies singing "Kumbaya" around a campfire. Many bands are able to put aside decades of hatred for one night, but the Smiths aren't one of those bands. Morrissey would probably write about 17 public letters about his loathing of the institution, and those will only be the ones before he learns they serve meat at the dinner. Needless to say, they deserve it more than just about any other group of the 1980s, but these are people who truly hate each other. Morrissey ...

    huh?? the show has writers who know enough to reference Morrissey but at the same time know so little about him that this reference would work to them? ...

    I'm reading The Stone Roses: War and Peace book by Simon Spence, and there is this quote in the book from Si Wolstencroft (the drummer in pre-Stone Roses band The Patrol and pre-Smiths band Freak Party) that I thought you'd find interesting:

    "'I just didn't fancy it,' said Wolstencroft. 'I didn't like the cut of Morrissey's jib and the rest is history.' The Smiths replaced Wolstencroft with Mike Joyce, signed to Rough Trade Records and quickly scored two massive hits with 'This Charming Man' and 'What Difference Does it Make?' before releasing their eponymous debut album in February 1984. 'We watched them go from being kids rehearsing, to being on Top of the Pops, to being a big and important band,' said Garner [Pete Garner, bassist for The Patrol]. 'So once you've seen your mates on telly, you're like, F***, we ...

    Excerpt:

    On this lead-off track from TOTP2, “Morrissey Will Never Forgive Me”, Keith Top of the Pops takes the piss a bit, using snippets from Morrissey lyrics and then saying how the former Smith would never forgive him. The song was recorded live with full band in one take to preserve the sense of urgency in the tune. TOTP2 will be released May 17th via Corporate Records. ...

    I just stumbled upon this in the back catalogue of the talented rapper Shad. The shout out comes a little after 3:50 in but I recommends listening to it all. The song is called Out of Love Part 2.

    UPDATE May 9:

    jushardlow posts:

    Hi, I was the researcher on this documentary ... it's called "Not like any other Love" The Smiths: A Culture Show Special and it's on this sunday (12th May) at 11pm BBC2. Correct - It's presented by Tim Samuels. Amy Lame, Simon Armitage, Stuart Maconie, Wayne Hemingway, Noel Gallagher, Charles Hazelwood, Jo Slee and Kerry McCarthy feature. It's a half hour film on the band's cultural legacy .... a film by fans for fans! Salford Lads Club were kind enough to let us film in The Smiths Room, and interviews also took place in London and York. Lots of great archive too from the BBC, Steve at Soundsville International .... and Jonathan Barnett, Hetty Church and Grant Showbiz.

    Not Like Any Other Love: The Smiths - BBC 2

    DURATION: 30 MINUTES
    It's 30 years since Manchester four-piece The Smiths changed the face of British pop with their debut single Hand In Glove. In this half-hour Culture Show special, fellow Mancunian and lifelong fan Tim Samuels sets out to find out why The Smiths have ...

    Mega-Producer Steve Lillywhite Looks Back on Storied Past; Talks U2, Morrissey, Keith Richards - The Hollywood Reporter

    Excerpt -

    And Morrissey. “Morrissey is probably one of the more eccentric people I’ve ever worked with. He’s fearless in a lot of ways. Is this being filmed? I won’t tell that one. OK, I just won’t say the names. There was a very, very well known American manager. We’re in the studio out in the country in England. This manager managed probably the biggest solo artist in the world and he wanted to meet with Morrissey. He flew from Los Angeles to the studio. He walked in, Morrissey walked behind him, and Morrissey disappeared. Couldn’t find Morrissey anywhere. It got more and more embarrassing. Eventually, the manager just left. Then Morrissey came out. I asked him why he had left and ...
