The Andrew Marr Show tipped over into cliché-laden self-parody this morning.
Did Mr Marr really say the words "...it's hot, it's sticky, what you need is a touch of the deep south and on cue here is the golden-voiced young Texan Leon Bridges from his debut album this is twistin' and groovin' "
The camera then panned across to a black person in a suit and hat, whom we were presumably meant to admire for his diversity-chic.
"Deep south" indeed.
Following endorsement by the Andrew Marr Show American blues must now be classified as Dad Rock.
