The first Smiths, nearly
Posted on Sun, Jul 18 1999 at 11:03 a.m. PDT

From Jens:

From the autobiography of Giles Smith (musician, pop-journalist): Lost in Music, One of the funniest books I have ever read. If you liked Nick Hornby's High Fidelity, you will LOVE this one! A must for every music fan and record collector.

In the late 70s / early 80s Smith thinks about starting a band with his brother. They just needed a name. Quote:

"You could call yourselves The Smiths", said my mother one mealtime, and we jeered derisively.

As if anyone was ever going to be successful with a dumb name like 'The Smiths'!
