Potent Quotables: Bragg-ing About Barack

"[His win] is good for America, it's good for the world and it's good for rock 'n' roll." --Billy Bragg

The singer credits Barack Obama with our newly "charged up" youth, adding that he initially "thought it might be to do with the release of 'High School Musical 3'."

Billy Bragg is a commie. If he thinks it's good, it's bad.

Yeah must be bad...almost as bad as putting our economy at it's lowest ever and spending billions of dollars on a war we will never win. Yeah there is no way he can do that bad.

Sheesh... I didn't think anybody even remembered Billy boy... you're talking mid-80's, and he was never really what one would call a mega-star... but man was he was one of the greatest lyricists... right up there with Matt Johnson (The, The) for those in the "know!"

If Billy says it... it must be true!
