	The Smiths: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more Music.com
		By the time the non-LP "Shakespeare's Sister" reached number 26 in the spring of 1985, the Smiths [+] had spawned a rash of soundalike bands, including James [+], who opened for the group on their spring 1985 tour, most of which Morrissey[+] supported.
		By the time of the group's second single, "This Charming Man," in late 1983, the Smiths [+] had already been the subject of controversy over their songs "Reel Around the Fountain," a song that had been aired on a BBC radio session and was alleged to condone child abuse.
		The Smiths' rise to the upper reaches of the British charts was swift, and the passion of their fans, as well as the UK music press, indicated that the group had put an end to the synth-powered New Wave that dominated Britain in the early '80s.

	Shakespear's Sister - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The band formed in 1988, the same year that Fahey left Bananarama, and are named after a song by The Smiths, though the term "Shakespeare's Sister" predates the song.
		Shakespear's Sister was a band consisting of Siobhan Fahey and Marcella Detroit.
		Detroit was tall, with a soprano voice, while Fahey was petite, with an alto voice; this was the opposite of what one might expect on seeing them, and it lent a novelty to their performances.

	Songs About Rockism
		"Shakespeare's Sister" by The Smiths addresses one form of rockism with the lines "I thought if you had an acoustic guitar it meant that you were a protest singer."
		I have a feeling that I may have written a song about rockism (as against just a song about pop).
		I think the vogue of the term 'rockism' is due to 'popism' finding a significant constituency among critics, which I think is due to the rise of hip-hop.
