<div>I joined this tribe just to share this site. Well, that I'm a huge fan of Billy Bragg, the man and his music. In fact, I drink my coffee every morning out of a Billy Bragg mug I bought at his Seattle show last year. <br/> <br/>www.jailguitardoors.org.uk/. <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://billybragg.tribe.net">Billy Bragg</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>To: US Congress <br/> <br/>When Iraq was destroyed the rebuilding contracts went to American companies such as Kellog Brown and Root and Halliburton taking all that profit out of the hands of Iraqis and giving it to Bush cronies. <br/> <br/>New Orleans is going to be rebuilt. ALL of that work should go to local New Orleans people. New Orleans people need work. New Orleans people need thier beloved city to rise again. New Orleans and the rest of us need New Orleans to be the multicultural gumbo at it's full glory again. All the materials where possible should be bought from New Orleans and Louisianna business people, from local sustainable local resources. All supply and subcontract orders should go to the people of Louisianna. If the local ecomony of our beloved New Orleans is going to recover it is going to be because NOLA rebuilds herself...not because contracts go to outside contractors from far away who benefit from thier relationship to the Bush administration. New Orleans without it's residents is a Disneyland for the rich. Instead we need a WPA project making it possible for NOLA residents to rebuild thier own town. <br/> <br/>New Orleans is the soul of America. Without it's residents it has no soul. <br/> <br/>Save the soul of America... support NOLA residents in moving home and rebuilding thier own beloved hometowm with our help, with our money and support. <br/> <br/>Federal monies must be made available to follow through on the subsidence mediation, levee and channel projects. Where large outside contractors are ABSOLUTELY nessesary they MUST hire and TRAIN local residents to do the work and get paid for that work. <br/> <br/>Cronyism killed New Orleans, by putting a man with O DISASTER RECOVERY experience in charge of the effort. Localism will save it. The people of NOLA will save it. <br/> <br/>STOP IT BEFORE CRONYISM BURIES HER. <br/> <br/>Thank you please pass this on! <br/> <br/>Sincerely, <br/> <br/>go here to sign <br/> <br/>http://www.petitiononline.com/tru56ppa/petition.htm</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://billybragg.tribe.net">Billy Bragg</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Hi. I'm new to the whole Tribes thing in general but was pleased to find this one for certain! I've only seen Billy 'live' once...many years ago in a small club in Knoxville, TN on the night they announced The Berlin Wall was coming down. Needless to say it was a wonderful night and I was actually lucky enough to meet this brilliant man when he sat at my table and just started talking to myself and my friends like he was just one of us. It was a night I will never forget for many reasons. Never have I met anyone as intelligent and quick witted....and so underrated here in the states.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://billybragg.tribe.net">Billy Bragg</a> - 5 replies </div>

<div>Hey so this is not actually Billy Bragg but rather Bob Dylan, but I think some of you might dig it, I will try to think of which BB track to remake/remix next . . . <br/> <br/>So without any further ado <br/> <br/>http://www.funketabla.com/uploads/mastersofw.mp3 <br/> <br/>This is a link to a remake of Bob Dylan's song "Masters of War." I am calling my version "Masters of W," given the regime we are living under right about now here in the US of A. The original is simply guitar and vocals. I chopped it into 63 parts, quantized it, rearranged it, and added 3 darbouka parts, a tabla bayan part, drum kit beats, bass, throat singing processed to sound like synthesizer, and a sarod part to emphasize the power of Dylan's lyrics. <br/> <br/>Peace out! still working for the great leap forward . . . <br/> <br/> <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://billybragg.tribe.net">Billy Bragg</a> - 4 replies </div>

<div>I was thinking about the times we have here in the US and how we need some musicians on the left, like Billy, to make some sense of it all.

<div>Hi, all, <br/> <br/>Just wanted to mention that we went to see Mr Bragg last night in Southampton, and it was brilliant... I was a bit perturbed when we arrived and it was a seated concert, rather than a rowdy standing gig (the last two times I've seen him it has been a standy shouty affair) but we soon cheered up when we realised that because we'd booked so early (last year some time), we had front row seats... what an opulent lifestyle...! <br/> <br/>Jill Sobule was a real revelation... we hadn't ever heard of her, and although we all utterly failed to sing along to the sing along bits (being steadfastly Hampshire English with all that entails, and also laughing far too hard to catch a breath) the missus and I hurried to buy her CD at the intermission. She even manages to be funny when most songwriters would get all serious and maudlin, and we had to love her for that. <br/> <br/>Billy was totally superb, and his storytelling skills and audience interplay were every bit as funny and vibrant as they have been when I've seen him before. I was slightly concerned when he opened with Sexuality, simply because he looked quite bored or tired, but he started to warm up after a couple of songs, and made the audience wait until a second encore for A New England. To be honest, if it had been me, I'd have done the same out of bloody-mindedness, as it seemed to be the only song that the harmless but persistent drunken hecklers shouted for... the git in me would have wanted to make them stay conscious and frustrated till the end. <br/>It occured to me that both the first and last songs he played were ones that I associate with Kirsty Maccoll, and I wonder if this is a coincidence or a sort of silent tribute (I'm stretching a little, because I think she sang backing vocals on several of his songs, not just Sexuality). <br/> <br/>I did note that where previously Billy has felt the need to explain his inclusion of New England in the set to the audience, saying that it just didn't seem relevant to his life any more without family-friendly amendments (about which I think he was only half joking) he didn't do that at all last night, leaving the song unchanged from his original save for a verse that he dedicated to Kirsty. <br/> <br/>I couldn't help but be moved by that. I love that song, but it's impossible to hear it without feeling a little sad about the tragedy that's tied to it.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://billybragg.tribe.net">Billy Bragg</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>I love how Billy has aged. He has really brought his revolutionary attitude into his 40's with style. Has anyone else heard that amazing thing called something like "Billy Bragg talks to himself." I have it on something or another. He's talking about how he used to think being revolutionary meant being at the barricades, but that notion has really changed as he has gotten older and is raising a child.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://billybragg.tribe.net">Billy Bragg</a> - 0 replies </div>
