Brixton can fúck off. Bowie was, of course, a product of Bromley. Although his brother was in the loony bin at Cane Hill just outside Croydon and topped himself himself at nearby South Coulsdon station.
Mind you, claiming to be from Brixton wasn't the worst of his sins. **** claimed he was from outer space at one point.
No, but in Stray Cat Blues, Mick does sing about shagging 15 year-old girls.
Of course I'm not asking for all records to be based on personal experience (I'm pretty sure Elton John has never been on a rocket or missed his wife), I only get irritated when the persona becomes such a part of the artist's image that we start to forget it's a persona.
