Oxford Road Show, Manchester explained
In 1985, Morrissey appears on the BBC’s Oxford Road Show while The Smiths are riding Meat Is Murder and the Manchester indie surge. He explains the city, the quiff, and a band already allergic to rock-star small talk.
The clip is classic early Morrissey: dry wit, moral certainty, and a frontman who turns a regional TV sofa into a manifesto about northern English life.
