A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT The Enduring Saga of The Smiths by Tony Fletcher

Finished Th 7/9/15 (The day I closed on 940 Westview)

The definitive biography of arguably the best band of the 80's, and easily one of the better rock biographies ever written.

I got it in hardback from the library, and although it's over six hundred pages, I was sorry to reach the end.

Steven Patrick Morrissey

Johnny Marr (Maher)

Andy Rourke

Mike Joyce

Morrissey and Marr's families moved from Ireland to Manchester. Their first homes were torn down during the slum clearances of the sixties, and they were relocated to modern and uglier public housing. A major effect on both of the musicians' outlooks
