Can’t think of a Smith’s lyric for this..

As someone who occasionally attempts to intersperse Smiths lyrics into everyday conversation, seeing Morrissey for the first time in the Edinburgh Playhouse last night was quite exciting.

The gig was very very very good; brilliant even.

But I’ll stop short of describing it as transcendently amazing or amazingly transcendent as I felt it lost momentum towards the middle of Moz’s  set-list.

Also, the support band, Girl in a Coma weren’t exactly the Sex Pistols at the Lesser Free Trade Hall in Manchester in 1976. But someone did insightfully point out to me that perhaps they were or could be, in an antonymic manner.

So….if I ever become a hugely influential and platinum selling recording artist, I’ll be sure to cite Girl in a Coma at the Edinburgh Playhouse in 2008 as my inspiration.
