I read a brief article criticizing him for living in a white upper class area despite the politicism in his lyrics but that was a while ago and like I said I don't know much more than that and the one song. My understanding was California Stars (and the album Mermaid Ave) was Woody Guthrie lyrics that Billy Bragg and Wilco added the music to. Is that not correct?
