The Country's Most Obsessive Smiths fan.

so let me see if I understand this....this guy is 34, lives with his parents, AND is a postal worker....im afraid....the "smiths fan" part of it doesnt worry me, but the rest of it....RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY!!!

I clicked on this topic expecting a nice discussion about the works of the Smiths and Morrissey. Remind me never to be so naive in this bloody forum again.

If you are the lead singer in a Morrissey/Smiths tribute band (not me.. haha), does that make you an obsessive fan??

...thank god!....can you imagin if he lived in Oklahoma too...I would be very, very afraid (and thanks for that Jeff, now I am going to have nightmares!)...besides, just because he cant get a gun does not mean he cant "go postal"!

Originally posted by Taboo # 7 I'm probably the "most obsessive Smiths fan" in Oconee County, and all I've got is Hatful of Hollow, The Queen Is Dead (she bloody well should be! Oops, wrong thread), the US version of The World Won't Listen (something to do with "Bombs", the title is) and the '95 Singles collection. My coz is just a little bit worse: He's got Mozza's solo efforts as well as the Smiths catalogue (I first exposed him to the Smiths and Joy Division, so I can't help but feel a little pride)

that would be louder than bombs - orange sleeve, different tracks to world wont listen though isnt it, repackaged, reissued......

Yes indeed, quite like that one. I always found it interesting that the Smiths were very much a singles band, there's only about 4 proper studio albums. Anyway, "Louder Than Bombs" it is.

oh god yes, definitely a singles band mind you many people say the order are too but we know different about the gems on the albums so maybe smiffs fans think the same (there is a light was never a single & is a top track for instance)
