I love Andy Rourke's bass on Interesting Drug. When I'm walking the dog my brain goes on shuffle and the five-note descending line at the end of the second bar among my top 25 all time whistles.

Andy Rourke was a gentleman & genius bassist- and if you were lucky to catch a gig he DJ’ed at - you heard some amazing music too.

“Barbarism Begins At Home” is one of the finest bass lines ever recorded to tape.

Rest in power sir.

The Smiths have (deservedly) been written about endlessly but relatively little has been written about how those amazing records owe their propulsion to a funk bassist hiding out in a jangly guitar pop band. Music writers are so focused on characters and biography they ignore the alchemy. The difference between great and blah are the so-called small details. The difference between marinara, salsa and ketchup is seasoning.

'Bassist Andy Rourke (59) van The Smiths overleden'. Rob Voxpop (rare man van 61 uit Alphen aan den Rijn) vindt dat egt heeel erg voor die Andie Roerke, hij was so'n goeie bassist van die Smits. Rust in vrede, mooi mens en talentvolle muziekant. D'r zijn so weinig van die goudhartige ziele rond. Dit nuuws maakt my echt sip 😢 🎸

The Smiths were everything to me, everything, and Andy Rourke more than did his part in that. This is very sad indeed. .
