STOP ME IF YOU THINK YOU'VE HEARD THIS ONE BEFORE: A Recollection of The Smiths' first (and only) visit to Texas
Travel back with me to September 5, 1986. At that point I had already been writing about the British rock band The Smiths for my college newspaper in South Texas for two years, but the band had yet to tour my home state. So anticipation was high when a concert was announced to promote the band's third studio effort, The Queen Is Dead, at the Bronco Bowl in Dallas for September 5, 1986.
