Paul Morley & Simon Armitage deconstruct "This Charming Man"

From Paul Morley’s programme “Pop! What Is It Good For?” Simon Armitage, the poet and Paul Morley, a great rock and roll critic. talk through The Smiths “This Charming Man”. I was never a huge Smiths fan, but I thought this was kind of interesting.

I thought it was weird to write the words “rock and roll”, I mean does that even mean anything anymore?
