This Charming Man

I

Por: Natalia Cadenas

n 1994, and I was 13, one day at night listening to Rock and Pop radiostation.

Suddenly, the Smiths special, “Theres a light that never goes out”

and “How soon is now?”and blew my head off. That same weekend I went

to “Persa Bio Bio” and bought the Queen is Dead and Meat is Murder.

It was like a super weird feeling, like every song was better than the last

one, and lyrics to say, Morrissey was talking to me, about what was happening

to me, about how I felt, I ended up buying all the discography.

As the years passed, the Smiths and Morrissey became the soundtrack of my life.

I had a cabal that was listening to this Charming man before the school tests and

when I gave the PAA (university test), so it would go well and give me luck, and it did.

Year 2000, my first year of college, and instead of buying me notebooks to start

college, I bought the ticket to Morrissey for Victor Jara Stadium, obviously, since

I wasn’t going to be there. I remember as emotion in the line that there were

people with flowers, some guys from Peru who were already crying and told us

what they had done to be there. The first time I saw that there were people like me

(who felt isolated from the world), who felt the same devotion, was spectacular.
