Oh my
Enough! or Too much
I am not English and I am not a native English speaker either... and I have a very stupid question.
I can identify the English accent of some zones because of artists or friends.... but I am completely lost with Manchester.
I am mostly asking about the early phase of The Smiths:
Did Morrissey have a "typical manchester accent"? Or was he "faking" his accent? (maybe that's not the right word).
My question is because I see musicians from manchester who are VERY hard to understand when they speak.... Johnny Marr or Mark E. Smith could be good examples.
Whilst others always had a crystal celar English that sounds amazing when they speak (Morrrissey is one example, Genesis P-Orridge is another one).
So why is it that Morrissey and Genesis sound as if they were born in a different place than Mark E. Smith and Johnny Marr??? It's not the same accent at all (at least in my non native ears).
