486. "This Charming Man" The Smiths

"This Charming Man"
The Smiths
single
1983


Back about ten years or so ago, the music media suddenly noticed something interesting:  Mexican people loved Morrissey. It was funny to see a phenomenon that I had seen myself  capture the imagination of the press. Chuck Klosterman wrote about it, I think. Gladwell's probably working on something right now.
I bring this up not to get into a sociological discussion about gender politics or ranchera music; I bring this up to relate that I was friends with a dude named Mario, of Guatemalan descent. Mario was a big dude, a manly dude, and he LOVED Morrissey.
And friends, let me tell you: you have not lived until you've been in a car with a 250 pound Latino dude singing, "I would go out tonight, but I haven't got a stitch to wear..."

Esta es una buena canción para las personas que no salen fuera.
