(Billy Bragg)

Well, I guess.  But more that I like it when he writes from personal 
experience more than on global issues.  I Interviewed him in 1999 and he 
re-iterated to me what I've read before - that he does not consider himself 
'political' and sees a clear dichotomy in himself between issues that are 
personal and those that are about everyone.  He was one of the most polite 
popular musicians I've met.

To remain on topic, I photographed both Billy Bragg and The Sugar Cubes at 
their shows with M6's and a 35/1.4 (non-asph the Sugar Cubes show was 
before the asph existed) a Noctilux and an R4sP and 80/1.4.  There is 
nothing better for low-light work where you can get reasonably close.
