Northern Rock rocks!

Yank: I used to think it was cool, local-pride that prompted Newcastle to have “Northern Rock” signs around their stadium.  A testament to the resurgence of music from the northern part of England. Then I found out two things:  

  1. The resurgence I’m thinking of was in Manchester, not Newcastle.
  2. Northern Rock is a bank.

Stupid American.

Limey: Funny. You were probably getting confused with Northern Soul.
