He was a punk. He was a soldier. He was a flag-waver for both the Labour Party and the miners. He is Billy Bragg; best known as a passionate protest folk singer and a tireless promoter of political and humanitarian causes all across the world. His life encapsulates so much about his generation: born in the late 50s; passions forged by punk; politics shaped by Thatcherism; hope provided by the end of the Cold War and ideology galvanised by what he sees as a post-ideological 21st century.Serious about compassion and accountability; he likes a laugh too; and is enduringly popular.Billy Bragg remains to this day a much-loved songwriter and performer whose campaigning has now spanned four decades and shows no sign of relenting. Still Suitable For Miners is his official story; updated for the 30th anniversary of his debut album; Lifersquo;s A Riot with Spy Vs Spy; and including the recording of his tenth album as a solo artist; Tooth and Nail.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Interesting ReadBy Seifers KindleI enjoyed reading about Abby Lee Miller and her life. Theres sound advice about how to deal with kids and raising them; despite not having kids herself. I guess you learn a thing or two from being around and working with them all your life. I also enjoyed the behind-the-scenes aspect of the book. Too bad the pictures in the back were a little difficult to see; even when zoomed in; on the Kindle Fire. The picture collage didnt work as well on this format. All in all a good read.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. not greatBy JamieIts the same old same old. I wanted to like this; wanted to find some method to the madness; but I didnt; just more worship of kids she loves; bashing kids she doesnt. Oh well; at least I didnt buy it hardcover.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Four StarsBy CustomerThe book cover is a little damaged
