No Rock And Roll Fun

"I WAS TWENTY ONE YEARS WHEN I WROTE THIS SONG/ I'M TWENTY-TWO NOW, BUT IT WON'T BE FOR LONG": The album from which that couplet originally came - an extra point for being so clever to those of you know it's the Paul Simon Songbook and not Billy Bragg's Life A Riot With Spy Vs Spy - is about to get its first US official release nearly forty years on. One of the highlights of the album is Leaves That Are Green, the opening lines to which Bill borrowed for A New England twenty years later.
