I don't know who he is, but he is obviously literate and not brain fogged.

I literally never heard of him before, but I googled him and he tours all over the place and is on gossip websites, so he must have some fame.

He was huge at one point, still has a massive fan base. Talented if you like extremely depressing sodomite crooning

I only ever heard of him once before now in an old MST3k skit

Interesting guy. Was very much of the anti-Thatcher ilk back in the 80s. Gay. Vegan, before it was trendy. Political songs. You'd think he'd be a soy boy through and through. But it turns out his working class background actually gave him some real steel. He's one of the rare British liberals who can see oppression lurking behind it's many faces. Understanding that globalism isn't bringing anything but complete cultural destruction.

Most well known song is probably How Soon Is Now. But I'd recommend checking out Panic, which is pretty funny. I could imagine him rewriting it to chant "Hang the Globalists" rather than "Hang the DJ" in the current climate, as it's about finding yourself in an artificial culture that doesn't speak your language anymore.

He's the singer for the brit band "The Smiths", a liberal hipster God.

Yea but back then counter culture actually was that, now it's being promoted as modern culture

Eh, punk music was fairly rp back then. Minor Threat, a straight edge punk band wrote a song "Guilty of Being White."
