Buzzcocks were for me about a close as it was possible to get to perfect pop music, they really were 'Manchester's Fab Four'. In 2024, the politics of gender are a hot topic and here Pete Shelley was ahead of the curve more than 45 years ago. None of his bitter sweet love songs were gender non-specific, a fact that I don't think many people realised until years later Shelley explained aspects of his songwriting. Like many I felt his loss very badly a few years ago at the age of just 63. But, I count myself lucky that I was at his last gig in Belfast. As for the Post-Pete Buzzcocks, to be honest I cannot get to grips with it. Funny given that I follow a band with only one original member remaining but that's just the way that it is in my head (not so harmonious).
Thanks to the original Dime poster (paprick).
