Manchester, UK...in fact, Greater Manchester... is to me like New Orleans or Seattle or Miami or Memphis might be to somebody from an other country: a phantasmic universe, a holy wellspring:
- Headquarters of the World Chop Socky League
- Chetham's Library (where Marx met with Engels)
- John Cassidy, Irish expat sculptor
- 10cc
- The Fall
- The Hollies
- Joy Division
- Van der Graaf Generator
- The Smiths
- The Mindbenders
- Happy Mondays
- Buzzcocks
I could go on. I think there was a great comic book store downtown.
At any rate, to intensify my longing for this magickal place I follow the exploits of the football team Manchester City (which I gather is like "Mets" of Man U.) Therefore I constantly read: King of the Kippax-- C'mon you Blues, the City is ours...
I know it is in English but I don't know what Kippax means, or most of this:
I thought our three stars stood for 1) us giving the rags our players so they could win a trophy 2) For giving them Busby 3) loaning them our ground (cheers Tony) 4) Our lights so they could play in Europe - oh that's four, and still counting.
Now then Keith, take your songs about Shankly, the 96, Russian submarines etc, and your missiles and you can stick your fuckin flares up your arse.
poetry...can an individual have a sister city? |
