Billy Bragg

[William Bloke]

The world wide web is wonderful
If you've got something to sell.
But opinions often summon up
A focus group from hell.
It's best not to be distracted
And stay focussed on your goals
And take my advice -
Don't feed the trolls.

Love this dude. Having a bit of a listen up to his catalogue at the mo. Some great stuff for sure.

Up The Worker!

This is likely my most successful ever thread.

I like Billy Bragg but this is Really Badd

[Higgs]

Yeah, on re-read I'm actually not certain why they grabbed me at the time to be honest. To be fair to me I was a totally different person then though...

I also just heard his new tune about global warming that I gotta say isn't good at all...

Billy Bragg was a guest on Russell Brand's latest podcast. Great chat, really enlightening into Bragg's mindset. And there's some agency.

[Higgs]

I listened to that yesterday 'sleep. Cheers.

Certainly an interesting discussion, only trouble being both Billy and Russell seemed intent on talking over each other.

I actually really prefer Billy Bragg as a singer of love songs than anything else. Probably why "Worker's Playtime" is my favourite album of his.

Spot on. Brand is always better when he knows he's not the smartest in the room. It was interesting nonetheless. And I've enjoyed this podcast series he's doing.
