Billy Bragg

[WJ99mobile]

What a tosser he comes across as!

His recent question time performances have been so condescending

[life on mars]

Sadly I agree with you he has turned into a political knob, he wrote some great songs though:
New England
Levi Stubbs Tears
Between The Wars
Milkman of Human Kindness
It Says Here

Think your right ,tremendous cutting lyrics about urban life, he knew how to capture the mood back in the day, Seeger was more of a singalong type with repeat versus to get the crowds swaying arm in arm , all good stuff in its day, for the campfire.

Bragg was aggressive and a more urban writer with a cutting edge.

Saw him once with the excellent Redskins. "Keep On Keepin' On!"
