I'm sure someone on this list can make (or purport to make) an almost 
definitive list of characters, but the PSB have mainly kept to making general 
comments.  With "Shameless," Neil said it related to something like "the 
usual suspects." When HCYETBTS was out, there was some mention of people like 
Sting or Bono, but the song was meant to refer to anyone who may fit into 
that category. YWIWM is about all the artificial praise, critiques, and 
bullshit surrounding the 1991 Performance tour.

In order to find specific jabs at specific people, reading "Pet Shop Boys, 
Literally. . ." or "Pet Shop Boys Versus America" is the thing to do.   By 
reading Literally, one can see where HCYETBTS comes from, and by reading PSB 
Vs. America, you can see where YWIWM comes from.
