Meterosexuality - 3am Interview with Mark Simpson
METROSEXUALITY
"Northerness was crucial to The Smiths. Crucial because it gave them and Morrissey their scorn, their humour, their heart, their unpretentious pretentiousness and also their chippiness. The Smiths saved Englishness from the South who had held it captive in the basement of a posh house in West London. Since the 1980s it's become devastatingly clear that London and it's outer ring-road, the Home Counties, have nothing to do with England any more and in fact is set against it. The South East is now Global and Euro and, at a pinch, when all else fails, British long before it's English. England has been forgotten or buried by everyone who actually lives in England except northerners and London cabbies."
