In my novel Kiss the Sky, each chapter begins with a song. Over the course of the book, I compile a 91 song playlist that parallels the mood and story of the main character, Sophie “Sky” Lee, a black rock musician trying to make it in New York at the turn of the Millennium. I’ll blog a song from the playlist each day until the playlist is complete. Enjoy.

The Story Behind the Song….. Chapter 15: The Smiths, “Shoplifters of the World”

It’s just ridiculous. That’s all. Guilty pleasure.
