I am not familiar with Billy Bragg but, in general, I tend to disagree with this point of view.
There is always contempt for rich lefties, the “gauche caviar” or, in Italy the, “radical chic” crowd. They are often criticized as unauthentic.
But we could see it differently. It’s easy to be socialist when you’re poor, it takes empathy and a strong sense of justice when you’re rich, because you actually vote and fight against your class interests.
Of course, in case of these billionaires rockstars , it’s also important to see how they administer their considerable resources, if they put their money where their mouth is, giving back to the community.
And for these reasons I have no problem in saying I’ve always found political inspiration in Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, even if they are both rich beyond imagination.
Great Anthem Track....

Eminem is such a talent fraud IMO. You might like this Trump song if your political leaning is against him.
