Billy Bragg has one hell of a huge house for a Socialist who's released a handful of songs that only a few people can ever remember. The only song of his I remember liking was "A New England", and that was when Kirsty McColl(I think) sung it. I always though Chumbawumba talentless, but credit where it's due for putting their money where their mouths were.
I wonder if Paul Weller secretly lives in a palace? Or Ken Livingstone on his own private island?

Billy Bragg? How do you know what his house is like? Was he on "Through the Keyhole"? 
And yes it was Kirtsy McColl who covered New England.
Some former members of Chumbawamba are active in Leeds local Green party. Name me another record of theirs than "Tub-thumping"
Paul Weller is a cnut. I've never forgiven him for breaking up The Jam in the way he did.
"Red Ken" -- well, he has to have somewhere to keep his newts.

Whilst I have not a clue as to his views on immigration, he has clearly done rather well out of Thatcherite economics! It surprises me because I cant think of many songs he's done that were particularly good or popular..
I have not a clue about any other Chumbawumba song!:lol: All I remember clearly is the drinky-drinky song they did during the Euro Cup years back! But I did read the causes they supported financially.And why did Paul Weller have an exaggerated Cockney accent in the 80's ("It's the Eat'on Ri'fools...") but when he came back in the 90's had an American one? Tres bizarre!!
If we're talking dreary, why has no one mentioned Dylan? Alright a good songwriter, but he sounds like a terminally depresed bobcat at a Swiss clinic. Every cover of his songs has been better than his version!
Oh..them's fightin' words!!And then there is the Eunuch of Euthanasia, Morrissey...

I had such a crush on him when I was 17..

Oirish? Thought they were 50/50 Scots-Irish and have spent most of their career based here in Glesga. Mind I did call the singer a Cnut to his face when I saw him in Sauchiehall Street a few years backHom_Corleone wrote:The Irish Travis.abridged wrote:Snow Patrol

I think i'm the only person in Scotland who doesn't like The Jam, and I have no time for Weller either
