Grayson Perry channels his inner Bob Dylan with music video

Should Sir Grayson Perry stick to pottery? The flamboyant artist has just dropped a fully-fledged music video on his Instagram feed, making a bold foray into the music world. Sir Grayson attempts to replicate Bob Dylan’s iconic video for Subterranean Homesick Blues. Standing on a leafy London street, the knighted ceramicist sings about his middle-class guilt. “I hope to use my privilege to help those we’ve left behind,” he croons in Dylan style, “I fight for social justice, but I still feel bad.” Sir Grayson, who identifies as a “champagne socialist” and recently told us he expects a revolution, also mentions support for the Labour party. “I overpay my cleaner and I still feel bad… I give 50 quid to beggars, but I still feel bad,” he wails. The song is part of his forthcoming live show, A Show All About You.
