More quotes by Billy Bragg
You can experience a download, but you can't download an experience.
Billy Bragg
I'd like to think that in a generation or two we'll have politicians whose life experience reflects that of the people who are voting for them.
Billy Bragg
I never met a politician who didn't want to be a guitar player in a rock band. I've got the opportunity to say what I believe in.
Billy Bragg
I'm still batting away on my politics for the Labour Party. I'm much further to the left of them than I used to be, but that's because they've moved, not me.
Billy Bragg
I've had songs written during the Falklands war, and during the first Gulf war I got letters from soldiers saying they were listening to these songs, like Island of no return.
Billy Bragg
All musicians start out with ideals but hanging on to them in the face of media scrutiny takes real integrity. Tougher still is to live up to the ideals of your dedicated fans.
Billy Bragg
Don't saddle me with your ideals, and spare me all your guilt. For a poet with all the answers, has never yet been built.
Billy Bragg
Money maketh man a tory, don't fire that assumption at me, I like toast as much as anyone but not for breakfast, dinner and tea
Billy Bragg
A nation with their freezers full are dancing in their seats, while outside another nation is sleeping in the streets.
Billy Bragg
The idea that musicians should be talking about politics is, in some ways, quite a sixties' idea. Music no longer has a vanguard role in youth culture.
Billy Bragg
So, in some ways, the political songs tend to be a bit more like reportage, whereas the love songs tend to be like novels, you can pick them up off the shelf and go into them any time.
Billy Bragg
Being spokesman for a generation is the worst job I ever had.
Billy Bragg
There are quite a few honest songwriters out there writing about relationships and their own personality traits. But for some reason, once they step out of the bedroom, their honesty doesn't seem to come with them.
Billy Bragg
I enjoyed so much working with the guys from Wilco, and riffing off of them, and having someone come up to me with ideas, because normally in the studio it's me who has to come up with all the ideas.
Billy Bragg
We've heard so much about the American dream: well, Trump is the American nightmare made flesh. All the things about 'the ugly American' that we worry about and which the Americans see in themselves, it's all of that. This is a politics of egotistical display.
Billy Bragg
Freedom is merely privilege extended, unless enjoyed by one and all.
Billy Bragg
What corporations fear most are consumers who ask questions. Naomi Klein offers us the arguments with which to take on the superbrands.
Billy Bragg
Start your own revolution, cut out the middleman In a perfect world we'd all sing in tune But this is reality so give me some room So join the struggle while you may The Revolution is just a t-shirt away
Billy Bragg
Even with politics, stuff comes around again. Woody Guthrie would recognize America today.
Billy Bragg
If we accuse Trump of being a liar, he won't just say 'I never said that' or just ignore it and go on to the next thing.
Billy Bragg
