Thread Name: The Selling Out of Billy Bragg???
Subject: RE: The Selling Out of Billy Bragg???
Not very punk, anti-folk, or revolutionary of you though Gordon.

"Billy Bragg is only just another middle aged middle class dad
who's eared enough ££££ out of the music industry to move his family to a nice house by the seaside..

.. he's not beyond criticism or reproach.."

So maybe if he showed a little less concern for Dorset dads being able to buy more local produce at the market and having Oona round for tea, and a little more concern for Baghdad mums picking schrapnel out of their malnourished children's backs, he might come off as less a hollow man.
