Sheffield’s popular rock group, Arctic Monkeys seem to have a new fan, UK’s Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy. At a charity event to raise money for Haiti, she compared the band to Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen.
“Leonard Cohen’s songs are poems, I saw him twice when he was touring here last year, Bob Dylan writes poems and the Arctic Monkeys write poems,” she told the press agency the Press Association. “They (the Arctic Monkeys) are great lyric writers.”
What?
