The Guardian reports:
The BBC plans to mark the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ this Easter with an hour-long live procession through the streets of Manchester featuring pop stars from The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays and featuring songs by The Smiths and New Order. … The climax of the event sees Jesus sing the Smiths classic song Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now as he is being flayed by Roman soldiers.
Okay then.

“Manchester Passion is produced by Classical Music Television, makers of BBC THREE’s award-winning ‘Flashmob – The Opera’.”
This touches me in a bad place.
The Stone Roses met at my local high-school back home.
