I only know California Stars cos of Wilco, but still, it's a good one!

 

[Elvis Presley]

the old bloke Billy Bragg is a lyrical gem, check out Back to Basics, great album....

 

[IWasBored]

prefer when other people sing his songs, but that's just me.

kind of like how i feel about bob dylaN

 

[IWasBored]

i forgot to mention that i like 'to have and to have not'

but i prefer lars frederiksen & the bastards' version

Is this the guy who used to sing "Glad to be Gay"?

Or have I confused him for someone else?

Was that Tom somebody?
