I love The Smiths but I'm glad I'm now at an age where I can't take Morrissey's lyrics remotely seriously. Actually, that's a lie, I'd much rather be 18 again. Anyway, that image reminds me of a lass at college who thought the line 'Sweetness, I was only joking when I said I'd like to smash every tooth in your head' was I'd like to mash a beetroot in your head. I prefer her version.

beetroots can hurt...
Still, not as much as having all of your teeth smashed...

That's a boatload of Cash.
They are throwing all kinds of stuff at the "black Friday" wall right now. I can't believe they sold out of the 45 rpm vinyl version of Metallica's black album before I could get a copy. Now that's a shame. Imagine getting up to flip discs four times just to hear that shit.
"You know Bob, I paid $40 for this 180 gram 45 rpm vinyl version of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and it still sounds just like the 8 track..."

Beautiful.
beautiful indeed. bought mine.
I ain't sure whether it was Brian Eno or someone completely different, but there's a famous musician who once stated:
There were only a few people who bought the first album of The Velvet Underground - but Everyone of them founded a band after that.
(btw. I'm pretty happy that I bought 'Peel Slowly and See', which has a beautiful booklet, for a reasonable prize shortly after it came out.)

Peel Slowly and See is a great set.

There are a few bands like that. VU is one, a lot of today's punk rock musicians would cite the Clash, older ones the Stooges or the New York Dolls/Heartbreakers and the Ramones. None of those original CBGB punk band sold any records. At least not at first. On the west coast The Runaways also inspired a lot of the women who went on to form bands.
But probably the biggest such effect was after the first Van Halen album came out. It seemed like over the next 5 or 10 years every hard rock guitarist on the planet tried to emulate that sound. When I came to California in 1984 there were 650 little Van Halen inspired bands crowded onto the Sunset strip. It was worse than the zombie apocalypse everyone is afraid of now.
