By Grand Central Station I Sat Down And Wept and its role in Morrissey's lyricism - An Essay by buddyonacloud

Summary
When he was in The Smiths, Morrissey referenced multiple times Elizabeth Smart as being a big influence on the way he wrote his lyrics. I recently read her novella By Grand Central Station I Sat Down And Wept and I've come to the conclusion that its role in The Smiths' history has been underestimated quite a bit, especially when it comes to the Morrissey/Marr relationship.
Here's why. -

But it doesn’t matter what he’s looking for now, Rye’s cold violence or Okiya’s solicitous courtesy or the man at the core of both, the shadow he’s been chasing for years and years.

Summary
Un filo di fumo si alza pigramente dalla canna che trema appena fra le dita sottili di Lauro, incastrata in mezzo a una L e una P d’inchiostro. Lui la osserva dal basso, rinsalda la presa, poi il braccio si tende dall’altro lato del letto. Edoardo, sdraiato accanto a lui, raccoglie il leggerissimo testimone e se lo porta alla bocca. Quasi un altro dei loro baci, labbra che toccano la stessa cartina. Lauro vorrebbe poterlo fare davvero, adesso; girarsi sul fianco, intrappolare Edo fra le sue braccia e baciarlo. Ma non sono sul palco, non è il momento. Non si può, se le luci non sono puntate su di loro, se non c’è un pubblico a ricordargli che lo fanno per finta, per gioco, perché sì. Il problema è che niente di quello che Lauro prova per Edoardo in quella stanza scura è per finta o per gioco, e allora è meglio chiudere gli occhi, immaginare di essere solo. Spostarsi un po’ più in là con la mente, perché il suo corpo non è in grado di farlo.

Summary
"All your teenage dreams have come true, and it's turned into a bit of a nightmare" - Alex Jones, bassist, Slur
This sprawling epic was the centrepiece story of an ancient "Pop Music Fan Fiction" site called Entertain Me! way back in the mid-90s. It originally started as Blur fan fiction, and expanded to be a snapshot of the 90s indie music scene. After being (allegedly) threatened with lawsuit by certain unamused musicians who shall remain nameless, all of the band names were changed to ciphers - part of the fun of reading is trying to figure out who "Radioshack*" or "Jim and William Gallivant of Mirage**" or "AbSynth***" really were. It eventually became hard to tell the real bands from the made-up ones.
*Guessing these people is easy
**A strange mixture of the Jesus and Mary Chain and Oasis
***Duran DuranWe wanted to read and write original female characters who were as cool, as interesting, and as rock'n'roll as the boys we lusted after. In a music scene that included Elastica and Lush and Huggy Bear and Stereolab, a band like The Charms really seemed possible. 20 years later, re-reading the story, I realise that the girls, all based on real people I knew back then, *are* the story.
