Very nice article, thanks.

Thanks, noted a few pedantic errors, like the Hacienda gig was the bands 3rd gig, not 2nd and also the video cycling around the Lads Club wasn't originally filmed for There Is A Light....

Kun ain't good player he short and live off father in law for chips and gravy. He ain't the big cheese or the chief. I see no good in shady hamstrings. Robert De Niro wants his haircut back.

This charming Manchester: is Morrissey's city still recognisable? - The Guardian

Morrissey's city ?
I understand it when people say Lowry's Manchester/city, but Morrissey's do me a favour !
4k me the Bee Gees lived in Manchester years ago, do we say Robin Gibb's Manchester ?
Morrissey is to Manchester what Ringo is to Liverpool, nothing full stop.

New Orders city for me. With Factory, Hacienda, Dry Bar, they at least had some investment in the city and still live in the area. Morrissey was simply born there.
