I like it, but I like Billy Bragg. People who don't like him tend to think that there's way too much of him in it.

We own it. Good stuff. This is what I've taken away from the movie, having watched it a few times now:

• Natalie Merchant is fucking crazy.
  
• Nora Guthrie wants Billy Bragg like nobody's business.
  
• Billy Bragg likes anti-fascist songs.
  
• Jeff Tweedy would rather have songs that don't suck than overtly political songs that maybe aren't as good.
  
• Billy Bragg's son is just about the cutest kid in the world.
  
• British people should not wear shorts.

Billy Bragg's son is completely adorable. I think he might have been my favorite part.
