Like Elliott Smith..here’s a musician who can silence a rowdy crowd armed with only an acoustic guitar, awareness, and a passion.
The lyrics may seem obvious..in hindsight, to some..but remain too relevant today.
God bless Billy Bragg for keeping the Faith and damn the current fashion…
Mr. Smith for following the Muse..

Alien Alert!
Hello.
I’ve acually been given the secret handshake for a guest hosting for this weeks sunday show. My friends here have invited me over to the land of the ‘rendered conciousness’ and for this I must say thank you. We’ve had some duels before as I have my own blog that’s more on the […]
