Excerpt:

I couldn't resist going along to see Morrissey at a packed Austin Music Hall. He played a blinder, mixing songs from his new album with half a dozen Smiths standards. Singing along to "Still Ill", I felt 17 again - which is odd, because I was in my late twenties when the Smiths were at their peak. He closed with a stomping version of "How Soon Is Now?". Eat your heart out, David Cameron.

billy also said, at his official SXSW performance, that he'd gone back to morrissey's place after the show and that they'd spent a long evening talking...and when he played an unofficial afternoon show on saturday, he played the smiths' "jeane."

"I felt 17 again - which is odd, because I was in my late twenties when the Smiths were at their peak" Ahh, Billy Bragg is great. Seeing him in London a couple of weeks before seeing Moz. With The Shins inbetween, May is going to be fantastic!
