Regular readers will know that I don't post in August. However this year I'm putting up a series of "songs from the sixties" that pick up the theme of social class. This is the sort of music I used to listen to as a teenager.
Peter Sarstelt picks up the story of two urchins in the post war slums of Naples. One becomes a top model the other a singer and philosopher. They live in two different worlds. I had a similar experience and know exactly where the writer is coming from. One of my friends went on to do wonderful things and seemed determined to distance themself from our Hackney roots.
