Interestingly, lots of US singers think they also came from "shitholes". For example, Jerry lee Lewis is always badmouthing Ferriday, Lousiana.


It's only the Bris that think it is uncool to come from Birmingham, or where ever; indeed, even after The Beatles made Liverpool "cool" to the Americans, lots of Brits - including Mick Jagger, were saying that Liverpool was a dreadful place.
