anyone who had no clue who the smiths were might think this is a clip from a band performing this year. the fashion and the style of music was just THAT ahead of their time.
My guess is because, when they performed this live on some tv channel, they just made morrissey lip sing and the band to fake play their instruments. They gave morrissey a mic to hold to lip sing into, and morrissey knew they weren't fooling anyone, and didn't wanna look like an idiot. So he sarcastically took a bouquet of flowers on stage to sing into. It was this charming man that they performed on the tv show.
The people chucking flowers, and moreover flower shreds and pieces are the most bizarre thing I've seen on a youtube vid. Tell me this isn't some local cultural thing--tell me this was just an 80s thing! Funny!
@jeffcrapinthehead Yes.... Johnny Marr is one of the greatest. He's the type of guy that writes these amazing catchy hooks that seem so easy to play.....until you actually try to play them! LOL.
@ceesoddens haha, smiths songs are f-in genious.. got to listen to them the first time half year ago... form the stone roses, now I only listen to the smiths... luv it
they used to throw him flowers, now it's bear bottles, "it's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate, it takes strengh to be gentil and kind" Moz 1986 ..... he was already gentil and kind ... must really be someone very intersting to speack with ..
i love the smiths. not just morrisey, the whole band... without em hes good but not smiths good lol. love this song love this video. peace and happiness
His quiff is majestic...

@00watcher My interpretation is that this younger person is preparing to get married and he's being told to return the wedding ring back.

Johnny Marr is an absolute guitar legend and Moz is a lyrical genius, but their super-powers are far more potent in tandem.
