Product Description

Product Description
The Smiths were one of the most revered English bands of the 1980s. Their songs were original and witty. This book contains stories about Smiths songs and the people to whom they meant so much. There are true stories of brief encounters set to the tune of "How Soon Is Now", of foolish actions in rhythm with "This Charming Man" and broken hearts set to the sound of "Reel Around the Fountain". Here are tales of what it meant to be young and living during the 1980s, as told by numerous twenty and thirtysomething men and women. The stories range from funny to sad.

2.0 out of 5 stars Recycled papers paving the ground..., 6 May 2007
By dogbarkssome (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
'All Men Have Secrets' takes a different approach to the Smiths, and instead of analysing the music or the band the book instead tells the tales of how the band impacted the lives of the listeners, with almost every Morrissey/Marr song (plus 'Work is a Four-Letter Word' for some reason) getting it's own collection of anecdotes. It's a novel idea, but sadly the result is incredibly pedestrian and dull, as we are treated to hundreds of variations on mundane tales of students discovering the Smiths in the 80's, or how song 'x' means so much to a listener as it reminds them of the time they failed to get off with someone at the student disco. There is some mild interest picking out a couple of well-known names (Boz Boorer, Julia Riley) but otherwise the repetition makes this a struggle to read from cover to cover. The Smiths are an amazing band, and their songs do mean a great deal to many people - but sadly those personal reasons don't always translate well into interesting stories. One for the Smiths completeists only.
