WOW!
or maybe not. Quite possibly the most inconsequential Smiths related story i've seen in a long time.

The Lunch breaks would have been crap?Soya burgers:dead:
Couldn't blame her for turning Mozza down.
Wonder if it would have been different if Marr had written to her?
Our Lorri is a huge Smiths/Mozza fan and when this first came out, she was just 12 years old so she didn't actually discover it until a good three years later when she was in the 5th form....anyway, it was her fave Smiths album of all time until the novelty of those aforementioned "lightweight" and completely disposable tracks "Vicar In A Tutu", "Frankly Mr Shankly" and "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others" soon wore off. She tends to skip them now every time and instead focus on the far weightier and emotionally potent numbers like "There Is A Light", "I Know It's Over", "Never Had No One Ever", and "The Boy With The Thorn In His Side" as well as the title track.
It seems "Hatful Of Hollow" remains her fave Smiths record of all time now anyway.
But what is starting to bore the arse off me is the way music publications are so obsessed with wanting to mark the 10th, 20th, 25th and 30th (or even 40th at this rate) anniversaries of albums that - in most peoples eyes - are just overrated anyway. Next year will be the 10th anniversary of "OK Computer" by Radiohead** and bloody hell - just wait until the hype machine gets going on that one: there'll be no escape for anyone frankly - every monthly magazine will bring out a special commemorative issue priced £7.99 going on about the making of this record. You mark my words, it's going to happen!
Bloody tedious, I tell you! 
**or will they opt for Oasis's "Be Here Now" ??? :dead:
I enjoy TQiD, but it's not my favourite (that would be The Smiths, and, although it's a compilation and not an album, Louder Than Bombs). "I Know It's Over," "Never Had No-one Ever," "TBwtTiHS," and "There Is a Light" are pretty powerful though.
Almost 10 years of OK Computer? Time flies!
Favourite Smiths album The Queen Is Dead,closely followed by Meat Is Murder,featuring my alltime favourite That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore.Timeless!!!
