My attention has been drawn to a holier-than-thou piece by John Harris in today’s Guardian.
Harris is the latest in a line of commentators and activists to get wound up by David Cameron’s fondness for the Smiths and other eighties bands who positioned themselves very much on the left of the political spectrum.
Personally I don’t see what the fuss is about. You can enjoy and appreciate the music without having to nod along to the political views of the artist. Cameron is the right age to be a Smiths fan in his younger days. What’s the big deal?
Anyone care to tell me what the political significance of my Green Day albums is…?
