I wasn't sure, but I still find it rather poignant for a dozen other stars and bands off the top of my head as well. Funny(sad) point about "You Are The Quarry" though.

To be fair, it's not always the artist's fault or doing when the reissue monster takes control. That said, one would think he'd have more say with Attack Records than with a major label. That was the whole original point of staying with Rough Trade with the Smiths, no? - -----Original Message----- From: owner-seven-seas@smoe.org [mailto:owner-seven-seas@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Rob Maher Sent: Monday, November 29, 2004 1:44 PM To: seven-seas@smoe.org Subject: Re: seven-seas Paint A Vulgar Picture Hoping not to sound too ignorant on this one, but I wondered if one of the Smiths fans out there could tell me, was he was singing about someone specific in this song at the time he wrote it?
