Music Billy Bragg as Johnny Clash

Word to the wise: If you want a whole slew of excellent Billy Bragg live tracks for free (and who in their right mind would not want that?), then the man himself will send them your way if you sign up for his email list. Sounds fair enough.

Recorded under the name Johnny Clash, this recent Strummer-themed tribute song sounds like the ‘ole Bragg, the youthful lad who’d busk on the streets while wearing weird speakers on his back.

Yeah, kind of like that photo.

MP3:
Billy Bragg - Old Clash Fan Fight Song (Live At Salisbury City Hall, June 2006)

“Shit, I love playing that song.”

Great lyrics, sincerely delivered. Can't help writing some more out. He's ace. Thanks for posting this!

"These heavy matters don't worry me.
Cos I'm a heavier man than I used to be.

Ohhh-eee-ohhh-ohhhh...George Bush will soon be gone....
Ohhh-eee-ohhh-ohhh....Tony Blair will soon be gone....and it's about time!

Cooperation, not competition
Cooperation is not sedition."
