Billy Bragg - The Three Dimensions of Freedom
Manage episode 257079585 series 2642739
Billy Bragg's music is heavily centred on bringing about change and involving the younger generation in activist causes. He is known to have said:
“I don’t mind being being labelled as a political songwriter. The thing that troubles me is being dismissed as a political songwriter.”
“Phil Collins might write a song about the homeless but if he doesn’t have the action to go with it he’s just exploiting that for a subject.”
Billy bought himself out of the British Army in 1981 for £175, cites his influences as The Clash, Bob Dylan, The Faces, The Small Faces & Simon & Garfunkel.
In 2018 Billy delivered a flagship speech at the Bank of England and he has recently released a new book entitled The Three Dimensions of Freedom.
