Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

Billy Bragg on WTF!

That venerable man of British agit-prop folk music Billy Bragg is interviewed at length on Marc Maron's WTF podcast this week and it promises to be a fascinating conversation. You can download the pod from iTunes or the usual outlets. Enjoy!

Thanks for the heads up. I subscribe to WTF so I'll be looking for it.

My pleasure, SS. I haven't listened to it but I'm hoping that Marc has done his homework and digs deep into the Red Wedge and Wilco collaborations.

We'll see where Maron goes. I'm not crazy about his intros, but his interview with Mel Brooks was top notch work.

His opening monologues are certainly exercises in narcissism but that's part of the charm of the guy. Listened to the first fifteen minutes or so on the way in to SUNY IT today. Loads of good stuff with Bill about his upbringing in Romford, his dad, choosing not to work for Ford, his first guitar and so on.
