Thread Name: Who is Billy Bragg?(and LYR ADD)
Subject: RE: Who is Billy Bragg?
So Mr Eagle writes "So, for what is he famous, other than being famous?"

I'd have thought there were a few clues in the fact that when you click on the link the Bald bird found so uninformative, there's a great big picture of the man with his guitar, and immediately underneath "Billy's been back in the studio with The Blokes, writing and recording songs for a new album".

Clearly too much of a leap of logic to have speculated "Now I wonder if that man with a guitar who records songs might just have written any songs..." And then to type the five letters word "songs" (or the four letter word "song" for that matter)into the search engine lying conveniently next to those words. Up comes a link to an alphabetic list of all of them, with the words just a click away. No flashy graphics, black and white words, a model of how it should be done.

That's not to say Bald Eagle mightn't have decided on closer inspection that the they probably weren't the sort of songs he or she would be likely to like. But that's another matter entirely.

There probably are plenty of people about who are just famous for being famous. Billy Bragg isn't one of them.
