I've been following Mr Childish since his days in Thee Mighty Caesars. I find him a very fascinating character. He comes across in his music as a very pissed off individual ... and thats entertaining to listen to, no!
That girls locked in my mind like a rusty hook ... yeah, I hear ya Billy.

I´m also a big fan. Stopped collecting his records years ago but still enjoy spinning the punkier stuff. The concert at last Train in Oslo a few years ago was perhaps the most intense and cool concert I´ve ever been to.
Also enjoyed his first two novels.

I found his books a hard read for some reason but then again I like under 2 minute 45's so my attention span is very short.
Those poems though just strike a such a honest and brutal chord. Here is one I just stumbled into. (i'd like a crying smilie for this). Remember Billy likes his poetry as he writes it dyslexic so it takes a little deciphering.
a terrible thing
when keerah was 22
she found that she was 12 weeks pregnant
she looked at me with fear in her eyes
- what shall I do?
- She asked me
- - its up to you I said
- ile support you in whatever dessision you make
I looked out of the garden window
i thought I was being so holy
so decent
so understanding
but I didn't stop to look inside
and to treat her with enough respect
to make the demands of what I wanted
i was to bissy being (understanding?)
in truth I was too young
too drunk
and too tied into my own dream
of hell
to know my own heart
i failed myself
i failed keerah
and I faild our unborn child
who I kiss now

Billy Childish is personally one of my top influences, the guy is one of the most important artists of the 21st century.

I have recently started to concentrate on collecting his releases, LP only for now.
Ive dropped a few hints for Christmas presents that i want more LPS but would also like a couple of his books.
Hes about the only new/non 60s artist i really like and admire. A true living legend.
