    A New England (covered by Kirsty McColl) is pretty well known. He's a good songwriter and plays a mean guitar (very influenced by Martin Carthy), and someone who's heart is very much in the right place. He deserves what he's earned.

    BTW, IMHO BB is a typical "do as I say, not as I do" champagne socialist hypocrite. I would imagine he would fit right in on this forum ;)

    I wish people would include Wiki links when they name people.... otherwise it becomes a lot of work loading a browser and going to Wiki myself.

    So ... who?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pablo_escobar - ah, some Columbian drugs lord. Dead now.

    Are you now confusing Billy Bragg to Billy Whizz?

    No, Bragg made his fortune whilst working with Escobar in the 80's and 90's running drugs from Bogota to Barking.


    You don't buy a house like that by making cr ap protest songs.

    you do the math.....

    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    Give the man a break. He's written some great songs and does a lot of gigs for free to back up his socialist beliefs. Why shouldn't he and his family live somewhere nice?

    Because his political ideals turn the rest of the country into a toilet?

    I somehow doubt whatever he thinks makes any difference whatsoever to what goes on in the country.
