Absolutely this. My article in Blitzed Magazine for November is about the Gallagher's working class pub music. Their first album was a breath of fresh air in the early 90s as producers were ruling the roost.(I was in my late twenties- a working class guy who had just went to uni amongst middle class people who had NO idea of our experiences). I'm not a huge lover of their music nowadays, but it says more to me than Blur or Fat Boy Slim. My only criticism is their apolitical (verging on to right wing) anti intellectualism. We aren't all like that. The pogues, pulp, even the sex Pistols were definately more cerebral. But much of the immediacy of working class life is not cerebral.. it is immediate, short term because of our shorter lives, shorter free time, our having to scramble for every pound. Great podcast as always 👍🏼
