Or maybe it wasn't as big news as you think it was.

Some (I would say less - what do you think of when you hear Berlin, Belgrade, Dublin or Amsterdam?) evoke images of music. We actually accept your premise but you don't seem to be accepting that ours can also be true in certain cases.

My premise is that music can define a city as much or more than a sport. If you agree with that, I'm not actually sure why you're debating me about it.

Which was exactly my point, a refutation of Monkey's statement that he doesn't "see how a music artist is similar tbh they don't really represent the city in the same way".
