Another one from Mama Shakes: What poem or song lyric really impacted your thinking or opened your eyes to something about life?
Lots of songs and poems have affected me in enlightening ways, but nothing quite so profoundly as The Smiths' How Soon Is Now? The first time I heard the opening riffs on MTV's "120 Minutes," I realized there was a person inside me I'd never met before.
I'm honestly not sure I'd be who I am now without The Smiths.
