john cooper clarke the lanky stand up poet from salford appearing regularly with punk bands delivering uneasy urban observations on culture.....quirky rythmns.......spoken in a slow salfordian drawl but at an amazing speed...adding to the theatrical menace of the verse....he is tall...skinny......edgy....urban....he has lost none of this personna........in his shades....this video based on beasley street captures in images the story.....its worth the time waiting for it to load......it is loaded with exacting observations....not pretty...but ...true....he magnified and dissected life in the local environment........hardships.....somewhere between tragedy and comedy.......beasley street is not just northern it could be any english urban space..........
