I've listened to the song "The boy with the Thorn In His Side" for so long, but never was able to put a meaning to what Moz was singing about.

For some reason today, I imagined this song being about a boy struggling w/ AS and trying to fit in with everyone around him...

The boy with the thorn in his side
Behind the hatred there lies
A murderous desire for love
How can they look into my eyes
And still they don't believe me ?
How can they hear me say those words
Still they don't believe me ?
And if they don't believe me now
Will they ever believe me ?
And if they don't believe me now
Will they ever, they ever, believe me ?
Oh ...

Yeah, good one. I'd never heard the song like that before. I think I need to go listen to the whole Smiths back catalogue with aspie ears.

I'm not sure I would've survived high school without The Smiths and Morrissey.

The Smiths and Morrissey kick ass.

"You're the one for me fatty" and "We hate it when our friends become successful" are some of my favs.
