NME Video: Billy Bragg at SXSW 2008

Is this The Editors at 1:00?

[obakegadeso]

Mister editor, please wake up and look around; we are hostile towards you because you are in no way progressive. You are incapable of reviewing a band without bringing your left wing ideology into it. It stinks. You are not a music magazine, you are just a glossier version of Socialist (dinosaur) Worker. Toilet paper in other words. Please please go bust soon.

[obakegadeso]

Listen Bragg, any young new musicians out there wanting to do something different will keep the hell away from the NME, from Billy Bragg and most importantly as far as possible away from left wing politics. You represent the failed infantile militant looney left nutballs that wrecked this country in the 1980s and 90s. Please go very very far away and dont ever come back. The NME? A shite rag thats always whining on about racism and victimization and blah blah blah.

[obakegadeso]

Talentless prick. Just go away Bragg. You are so boring. Your voice is obnoxious. Communism doesnt work, look at eastern Europe. Go there and you will not be welcome.

[MrFlatmint]

@obakegadeso Oxygen thief. Your shite taste is dwarfed by your ignorance

[Tangoratsfan]

I love him a li'l bit. Or a lot of bit, pur genius :)

o.k. they lurve you billy, because of the left-wing stance.

jigmeister2 asks: who is this guy..i neva heard of him until the nme awards

theshad0wkn0ws replies: Visit Billy Bragg dot co dot uk or, better yet, allmusic dot com for a bio.

Well, that says more about your knowledge, or choice of media, than about him, I guess... ;-)
