The Finale - Dead Letter Office by Todd Hutlock - Stylus magazine
Excerpt:
The Smiths were my own personal Beatles, and their breakup hit me like a ton of bricks. I was in a funk for months when the news broke. I bought the first Smiths album shortly after its release in 1984 at the age of 12, and it changed my life. As a lonely teenager in the rampant throes of puberty, the songs spoke to me like few ever had (or likely will) - I think if I had discovered them at a different time in my life, things would have been quite different, but as it is, the impact was immense.
