As a child of the 70s, Pittsburgh native Joe Manganiello was a little young to appreciate The Smiths when the British rock band s debut album dropped in 1984.
Even though the brand broke up just three years later, The Smiths were still a force when he got to Mt. Lebanon High School in the early 90s. The Mt. Lebanon High School theater club was very much into The Smiths, Manganiello said. When I started crossing over from athletics into doing plays my senior year, I got a ton of tapes with Smiths songs on them and all the other great indie bands of the time. That was the music I listened to during that very formative period.
PITTSBURGH â As a child of the 70s, Joe Manganiello was a little young to appreciate The Smiths when the British rock band s debut album dropped in 1984.

Shoplifters of the World: 3
GODZILLA vs. KONG: Between the two of them, they’ve been in 48 movies, but this is only the second time they’ve been together. The first was almost 60 years ago and no wonder. They’re from different worlds, eras and sensibilities, and it takes major script-writing contortions to make them meet up. It was easier in that earlier film because it was intended as a comedy and satire. This one is absolutely serious. There’s a search for a new energy source by a reckless entrepreneur. Kong, who has always been a victim of guys like that, is used to help find it. How Godzilla gets involved would be too much of a spoiler to reveal (that information comes late in the film), but the two giants do battle. Not a lot early on, but spectacularly later as they smash through and around the skyscrapers of Hong Kong. It’s an orgy of destruction, and frankly exciting, thanks to some great visual effects and a surprise or two.

If you listen to Spotify, you’ll know that you can ask for “Billy Joel Radio,” say, and get a mix that also includes Elton John, James Taylor, Ed Sheeran – you know, the Joel-adjacent. Similarly, if you play The Smiths Radio you’ll hear Bowie, Radiohead and Happy Mondays, on the assumption that if you like the Smiths, these too may enthrall.
