{"product_id":"a-light-that-never-goes-out","title":"A Light That Never Goes Out - The Enduring Saga of the Smiths","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe definitive book about The Smiths, one of the most beloved, respected, and storied indie rock bands in music history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey were, their fans believe, the best band in the world. Hailing from Manchester, England, The Smiths--Morrissey, Johnny Marr, Andy Rourke, and Mike Joyce--were critical and popular favorites throughout their mid-1980s heyday and beyond. To this day, due to their unforgettable songs and lyrics, they are considered one of the greatest British rock groups of all time--up there with the Beatles, the Stones, the Who, and the Clash. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTony Fletcher paints a vivid portrait of the fascinating personalities within the group: Morrissey, the witty, literate lead singer whose loner personality and complex lyrics made him an icon for teenagers who felt forlorn and forgotten; his songwriting partner Marr, the gregarious guitarist who became a rock god for a generation of indie kids; and the talented, good-looking rhythm section duo of bassist Rourke and drummer Joyce. Despite the band's tragic breakup at the height of their success, \u003ci\u003eA Light That Never Goes Out\u003c\/i\u003e is a celebration: the saga of four working-class kids from a northern English city who come together despite contrasting personalities, find a musical bond, inspire a fanatical following, and leave a legacy that changed the music world--and the lives of their fans.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51305655533856,"sku":"9780307715968","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9780307715968.jpg?v=1772762874","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/es\/products\/a-light-that-never-goes-out","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
