Five Mostly Rhetorical Questions

after watching The Smiths: The Complete Picture when I really should have been working on my paper on the Lavender Scare (due Tuesday).

1. Could I get away with wearing a bouquet of gladiolas in the back pocket of my jeans?
2. Why is “How Soon is Now” my least favorite Smiths single but my favorite video?

3. Is Morrissey the greatest dancer ever, or the worst?
4. Who is the cute pensive male angel in the video to “The Queen is Dead?” If I gave him a sunflower would he smile?
5. Could I rock a pompadour?
Here lies a most ridiculous raw youth, indulging himself in the literary graces that he once vowed to eschew. Now he just rocks out.
