How Morrissey helped turn vegetarianism into a mainstream movement in the UK". Vegan.com. July 2014. Archived from the original on 27 December 2014 . Retrieved 5 January 2016. To be fair, "Paint a Vulgar Picture" is both funny and painfully accurate about the fate of the Smiths' music after the Morrissey/Marr team split. Rank, released after Morrissey had launched his solo career, is useful as the Smiths' only full-on live album, and as a document of the brief era when Craig Gannon was their second guitarist (the Queen Is Dead tour, basically). It's also a contractually obligated piece of barrel-scraping, and the onstage Smiths were not what they'd once been-- they would play only six more complete gigs after the one recorded here. They're still pretty on-point, and it's fun to hear them swing through a verse of Elvis Presley's "(Marie's the Name) His Latest Flame" as an introduction to "Rusholme Ruffians", but it's uncharacteristically inessential.

Michael Wynn, in Vietnam, though with the wording on his helmet changed from "Make War Not Love" to "Meat Is Murder". The original image was used for Emile de Antonio's 1968 Oscar-nominated documentary In the Year of the Pig.
