No it doesn't always fit to stereotypes at all. The point I was making with Billy Bragg is that many, even people on here, have had their foundational political views shaped by people such as him so music & politics do have a strong link that Blazey was denying.

The words & sentiments of the song The Eton Rifles are the work of Paul Weller. It's somewhat irrelevant that Foxton sent his son to Eton.

Anyone denying that Cameron is staging a (failing) re-enactment of Blair's "Cool Britannia", that he is merely sharing his iPod playlist with all of us because he is such a nice cool guy, is just kidding themselves.
