I will leave an extra pint...

Back at the day job after a glorious weekend and met a new client in the afternoon. My bike's still in the shop low level grumble so between the two jobs I didn't get out much. I had a standby blip but really fancied a shot of me and Billy Bragg. I have a picture of us and a friend from about five years ago and fancied a follow up.

Billy played a good gig - lots of new songs, a smattering of old favourites and talk between the songs about how Woody Guthrie's songs speak to our current economic climate.

The queue to meet the Bard of Barking was very long and after about half an hour with minimal progress we decided to ditch the plan and catch a ride home with our neighbours instead.

But what to do for a blip? I'm afraid you're stuck with a shot of my bedtime cup of tea in a BB mug which recalls his first CD - "I am the milkman of human kindness. I will leave an extra pint." There's a matching tea towel, too. Rock and roll!

I'm reminded of another favourite lyric:

I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them but they were only satellites
It's wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care

I'll leave you with a track from his newest CD. Blippers in the UK may recognise some of Billy's mates.
