I actually love JB, I associate him with some incredibly fond memories (the 6 months of my childhood that my father wasn't in the grips of a ridiculous Amphet. addiction (2g of Polish power a day) and chronic alcoholism were spent listening to Back To Bedlam on repeat) and think he is simply brilliant lyrically.
Honest and heartfelt with little care for the poppy shite that plagued the radio during the 00's.
I love anything that's either heartfelt or made with talent, not much care for commercialism.
Fair enough man.
