BBC 4 "The People's History of Pop 1976-1985" featuring The Smiths

Very nice to see some fellow fans talking about The Smiths.

Particularly I envy the guy who got 1983 Camden Dingwall gig's setlist which he also got autographs from Morrissey and Johnny.

I couldn't watch this because it's UK only, but I searched and found I could watch with a Firefox addon called Zenmate. It's free.

I reckon she reminds me of Bookman aka "buffalo butt" from Good Times. Why did those guys playing kickball paint their legs white? What a horrible place. No wonder Morrissey lives in LA.

Not nice. There's not even a subtext. You would never, ever have said anything like this had the lady in the clip been white. And for that reason, you are a racist shit.

f***ing great clip. Great story from the two that say them at Dingwalls.

She reminds of Bookman..period. There is nothing racist about that. She could of looked like "prince" Willy's wife and I could of said she looks like Olive Oil or another "prince" and I could of said he looks like Dennis the Menace. This has nothing to do with race. Obviously you live in "the UK", the most racist country in the world.

Yes. If you install that in Firefox you can mark your location as UK and then watch the full video. It's worth it. The whole thing is good. I watched a couple other music programs there, too.

You and I, in fact everyone all over the world,
we’re literally African under the skin; brothers and sisters
separated by a mere two thousand generations.
Old-fashioned concepts of race are not only socially divisive,
but scientifically wrong.
