I really love, Rubber Ring….although it often frustrated me in the early days when I loved a song but didn’t understand the title (until years later and books would be published).
I think the production is stellar, and one of those instances where Morrissey and Marr are Morrissey/Marr.
I’ll reiterate STUX, great drumming by Joyce.
As as side note, I love to listen to this song in the car with my kids, and I always notice, when the end of the song comes, and the person (credit to FWD, didn’t know who it was) says ‘you are sleeping, you do not want to believe….’….my kids always get quiet and I see their little minds turning and trying to figure out what the heck that means.
Be safe and healthy all….
