[eastroad]

A great influence on our band, glad our dad played this song time and time again on cassette in the car. Billy Bragg diamond geezer, great songs.

[SuperAntisocialite]

Billy you are the faxin best me darlin'!!

[63frankie]

Protest music is back, get judas and his mates out of the labour party. Gordon time will show you were right.

[arunsak]

I saw Billy play this in concert. I'm a fan. But he preaches to the choir, spends half the time talking politics during his concerts. The unfortunate part about Billy is that he misses the mark politically.

Why ignore the obvious Billy? Wake up and look into 9/11, the event that launched our wars. 9/11 was clearly a false flag attack, likely from mossad, not muslims. Get close to the truth and talk about THAT to your audience. We need you. Nobody else will do it.

[HippieJimi]

Billy Bragg will always be the Man...

Sorry if some people don't understand...

He's waiting,for the great leap forward....

NSResponder, ever heard of irony? Bragg is one of the best known protest singers of the 1980s. He hates imperialst thugs and psuedo-socialists like the Mao. He is appropriating the term "great leap forward" and using it to shame modern political "leaders."

[4forty4]

you get him,as i do.billy has had a hold on me since 88 and the red wedge tour. you get irony and sarcasm. thats good,if 200 people out of every million get him,then the world will be alright.thank you andespin.

[NSResponder]

The "Great Leap Forward" was the murder of tens of millions of Chinese at the hands of their own government. Does this guy want that to happen in other countries? I don't quite get his drift.
