What's the difference between nerds, outsiders and loners? Do nerds not read book or do only outsiders read books and poetry?

Nine Songs - Chris Black.
Co-host of How Long Gone – one of the best podcasts on earth – Chris Black reveals a musical education shaped by hardcore, melancholy and anglophilia as he talks through the songs that soundtracked his life.
I don’t know if “Cemetery Gates” is a lot of people's favorite Smiths song, but to me it’s one of his best. I like the way that he's referencing these famous writers, but he's also kind of being funny and it really just encapsulates Morrissey.
I think The Smiths is one of the few bands that has truly withstood the tests of time too. The Queen is Dead sounds as fresh as it did when it came out and that’s kind of unbelievable, and it was a real moment in time.
Everything about The Smiths is so deeply, deeply British, which is something else that appealed to me too, because it was the same but just a little different, you know. You speak the same language but you’re referencing different things. I think that Manchester really does create a certain kind of music that can't come from anywhere else, and I think the Smiths are the best version of that.
Oasis was on the radio a lot too and they had a look and an attitude that you could kind of emulate a little bit more. That’s part of the reason they were so popular, because any guy could go buy a Stone Island jacket, some jeans and wallabees and be an asshole and do coke…. But The Smiths felt more like artists, it felt more delicate, more poetic. For lack of a better term, it felt more pretty, you know?
It’s beautiful music in a lot of ways. The feelings that they're able to evoke in someone is like opening a door, if that makes sense. The whole heart on the sleeve thing - “this is who I am” – is just very, very powerful
Morrissey’s cancellation over in the US really hasn’t taken in the same way as it has UK, has it?
A lot of people, like the Smiths get a pass you know, but a lot of our greats, unfortunately, don't age that well, especially when it comes to their politics, their mental capacity. It’s the same thing with Van Morrison and Eric Clapton. That doesn't change the fact that this album was the most important thing to me for a very big part of my life. I just think it's crazy to think that you can separate that. It’s crazy to ask a human being to forgo something that is cemented in their brain.
I mean he's wrong and all these guys are in the wrong – there's no question that he's in the wrong! But it doesn't make the songs less good for me.

Turks are the big huge disgusting racists. First they tried to genocide the Greeks and then when it turned out they were of greek heritage themselves and had no basis for hating the Greeks they were in such an uproar about that that ancestry companies like ancestry.com and 23andme were banned in their country. Sickening.

That doesn’t even make sense.
“Geez” I don’t attend parties for dead people I was not a fan of.
