I Was 21 Years When I Wrote This Song

The first time I saw Billy Bragg, in the fall of 1987, 21 was a few years away, but I can't believe how young it feels to me now. I have to get up really early to catch a flight back to Seattle tomorrow, but I'll be singing Levi Stubb's Tears in my head the whole way home. And for days.

I Was 21 Years When I Wrote This Song: "A New England," Billy Bragg. Check out this 1991 video.
