Hmmm It might be worth noting that Billy was chosen buy Nora Guthrie, Woody's daughter Arlo's full sister, to put Woody's songs to music because she thought that Billy was the current artist closest to Woody's legacy. For what its worth I agree.

Like Woody did, Billy gets out there among the people and learns from them and sings for them. Like Woody, his politics are very pink, bordering on red. I have a DVD of the BBC documentary, "The Man in the Sand" the making of Mermaid Avenue. I'm big fan of Billy Bragg's. I won't agree that he is God, but I am slightly jealous of Larry for having met him.
