RAW NERVE
Neneh Cherry caused havoc in her native America this year when she slagged off McDonalds and Nancy Reagan's anti-drug programme.During her second assaukt on the USA she collapsed with xhaustion. She tells Simon Witter what she can't stomach about the states.
Last month Neneh Cherry went on stage at Detroits's Fox Theatre, opening for the Fine Younf Canibals on the first night of their long-awaited US Tur. The Cannibals had booked Neneh to open for htme every night of the tour, and there was much relief when her sassy, energised half-hour set galvanized 4,500 people out of their seats ans into a dancing mass rving in the aisles.
The next day Nenh flew to Los Angeles where she completed a photo shoot for the Christmas edition of Vogue before going onto the MTV Awards ceremony, at which she was the honorary guest and a nominee for the hottest new act category.
