Robert Smith at Glastonbury now looks like Denis Healey with eye shadow.
How he got central London shut down is astonishing.
I think mainly because he got the audience into joining in a chant of ''Fuck the Government and fuck Boris!'' Which is intriguing as under Boris's mayorship black on black and knife crime went down significantly in London.
My holiday reading. He really is the writer Morrissey wishes to be.

No one at the time refered to the ''English shoegaze'' at least in the UK
The Teskey Brothers
Maybe that was another movement you missed, at the time? The whole Shoegaze or Scene That Celebrates Itself movement was huge for a couple of years in England in the early 1990s.
Alan McGee at Creation Records couldn’t sign bands fast enough. All it took was a copy of My Bloody Valentine’s second album, a bunch of effects pedals, an anorak and fringe and a posh Oxfordshire accent. This was at the height of the NME/Melody Maker ‘taste maker’ era.
Morrissey was turning into a self-parody even before The Smiths’ split.
