These are for sale. Love the Smiths. #thesmiths #johnnymarr #andyrourke #morrissey #mikejoyce

This was a good read but felt very surface level

I get he likes to look on the positive side but this came across a bit overly nice and sanitised

There’s more to life than books, you know… I’m looking forward to getting stuck into the new Mike Joyce autobiography, which I got hold of yesterday. 📚 🥁 #thedrums #mikejoyce #thesmiths
