Great question, Al. The Smiths have probably been more influential in my writing than the average reader would guess.
Whenever I need to tap into sorrow, the real stuff, the painful stuff, and my own past heartbreaks aren't quite enough, I like to drench myself in the tragic, and completely sincere cry of grief that is Girlfriend in a Comma.
There have been many, many great songs of loss, but no other has come close to the rawness of this groundbreaking piece.

I have often heard of authors wearing sunglasses at night, or having others near them do the same so they can watch you breathe your story lines. Have you ever found yourself influenced by wearing your sunglasses at night? Or do you often find inspiration by having others wear them near you?
