[[File:Richard-Coles.jpg | 200px | right | thumb |Richard Coles]] ==Relevance== In his book: "Fathomless Riches: Or How I Went From Pop to Pulpit" (2014), he recounts: <blockquote> I have always liked stories that reveal the vainglory and silliness of pop bands, stories about ridiculous demands on the rider, or terrible behaviour. One of my favourites came from the [[Mention ::Red Wedge]] Tour when someone said they kept bumping into members of the Smiths’ road crew clandestinely eating burgers in McDonald’s because Morrissey, a strict vegetarian, did not permit his employees to consume flesh. This probably just meant that the tour catering was vegetarian but it was a good story and suited the myth of Morrissey’s high-handedness and grand manner. I don’t know if it was true or not, but I did see how quickly these stories got around. </blockquote> <br> Via [https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/jan/10/no-jacket-required-would-be-the-soundtrack-of-hell-the-rev-richard-coless-honest-playlist The Guardian] in 2022, regarding "the song I can no longer listen to", he said: <blockquote> "This Charming Man. Much as I like the song, Morrissey has ceased to be charming for me." </blockquote> [[Category:Influenced by Morrissey / The Smiths]]
