If Jarbis Cocker had never....

Maybe not in the US, but he was well on his way to becoming an icon for the Britpop generation well before the attack. The attack only hastened his entry into pop immortality.

NOw he is king?

Even if Different Class had never come out - well before the 'Get Those Children Away From The Messianic Paedophile' outrage - His'N'hers would still, in my opinion, have given Jarvis the medium-sized immortality that, judging by recent interviews, he'd have quite liked. I assume, possibly.
