EPISODE SUMMARY:
The thing about being an iconoclast is that it brings you massive amounts of public attention, both positive and negative. Few people are as polarizing as Morrisey, lead singer of the British indie rock pioneers The Smiths. Everything from his political views to his personality have a way of either driving people away or drawing rabid fans to him. And that energy translates to the one of a kind sound compiled in the 1987 compilation album Louder Than Bombs. It samples a wide variety of the style of music that has bred such diehard followers, like actor, podcaster and director Michael Rosenbaum. The star of Smallville and Impastor has had a near lifelong love affair with the heartbreaking darkness of it all.
