WHO IS BILLY??

Ho comprato un cd doppio da Rough Trade e adesso ascolto solo quello.
E' una selezione fatta da Billy,il mio amico immaginario che poi esiste davvero (però mi immagino io che sia mio amico).
Billy Childish è conosciuto anche con un sacco di altri nomi (William Charlie Hamper, Bill Hamper, Bill Hamper-Childish, Guy Hamper, Jack Ketch, Gus Claudius, Danger Bill Henderson) e in cinquant'anni si è fatto rispettare come attore,fotografo,pittore,poeta,film maker,cantante e soprattutto chitarrista...provate voi a fare bene almeno una di queste cose e contemporaneamente avere dei baffi come i suoi!
A suo modo anche Billy ha fatto parte di una gang chiamata The Medway Poets e nel frattempo ha inciso due o tre robette,passando da etichette come Hangman e Sub Pop:
