		The novel is autobiographical, and picks up about the time when Billy first decided to be a writer: despite the advice of his family and the teachers who continually took the piss out of him for his dyslexia.
		Childish mixes the monstrous with the vulnerable in a book which, for all its faults, is fearless in its use of language and unrelenting in its evocation of the dark.
		The Bard of the Medway, Billy Childish is artist, writer, peot and damn fine musician, possessed of acerbic wit and poignant insight.

	Childish attitude - Music - Entertainment - theage.com.au
		Childish lived on the dole for 15 years before beginning to scrape a living from his music and art in the mid-'90s, and clearly values integrity over fame or money.
		Childish has come a long way from the turbulent, alcoholic young man who, in the '80s, burnt himself with cigarettes and sliced his arms with razors.
		Childish doesn't have many close friends but says he isn't lonely, and though he might complain about his financial situation, he can still see it from an outside perspective.

		Literally and figuratively, the house, which Childish shares with American wife Julie, is miles away from the sort of fashionable dishevelment to be found in the lofts of Hoxton.
		Billy is now the only one in his family who speaks to his dad although, says Childish, the father ("the most selfish man I have ever met") is not particularly interested in his son or grandson -- Billy's child, Huddie.
		The Billy Childish retrospective -- "We Are All Phonies" -- is on at The Aquarium in London until 24 December.

		Billy Childish's art is a knowledgeable side-wipe at the concepts and codes that pre-occupy modern art.
		Labelling himself as a 'Remodernist', Childish states that his style is a 'perfect antidote to spiritual bankruptcy of post-modernism'.
		The resulting work is a style that gestures toward the classic works of Van Gogh and Edward Munch, a simplified painterly style that blends rich colours and bold striking lines.

	Billy Childish - Is Dead DVD
		Billy Childish has resided on the cultural fringe for well over 20 years as a painter, writer, and musician who has remained proudly defiant of the art world's market structure, and protective of his integrity and independent spirit.
		Getting kicked out of art school was just the beginning of Childish's run-ins with the system, but his determination to remain autonomous has allowed him to express scathing sentiments and poignant truths about the world from which he finds himself alienated.
		Billy is shown on tour with his band The Buff Medways, and interviews are conducted with his admirers, which include Shane McGowan (former Pogues frontman), Holly Golightly, journalists Miranda Sawyer and Matthew Collings, and others.

		Childish explains this verse by claiming he's only interested in revealing things to himself, and that by writing about such personal intimacies he's found a way of letting the past go.

	TrouserPress.com :: Billy Childish
		Childish — working under various band names and in an endless variety of personnel permutations — amassed a huge catalogue of musical products that vary greatly in quality but share a consistent lo-fi passion underlining their creator's obsessive sense of mission.
		Childish first came on the scene in 1979 with the Pop Rivets, a sloppy mod-punk combo whose three self-released studio albums were a lot more enthusiastic than inspired.
		Childish's continued insistence on making all of his musical whims available to the buying public leaves catalogue-surfing him a very tricky proposition, but careful sifting will reward the effort.

	Tracey Emin - Dirty Laundry; Brit Artists Tracey Emin and Billy Childish go very public (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		In the blue corner is Tracey Emin, a woman who has turned her whole life teenage rape, botched abortion, drunkenness, depression, and all into art, and is now the leading contender for Britain's biggest art award, the Turner Prize (to be awarded November 30).
		Childish has been described as "a seething, dyslexic, better looking, British Bukowski," and has been turned down by or thrown out of most of London's best art colleges.
		Perhaps if she does win, this time she'll make the call to Billy Childish, just to say "thanks." After all, back in the day, Emin was a satellite to a group of artists called the Medway Poets, and Childish was their leading light.

		The truth is that Billy Childish, 44-year-old writer, painter and founding member of the Buff Medways isn't much bothered by what people think of him or his work.
		Fittingly, Childish lives and works in the un-modish and often unlovely Medway town of Chatham in Kent.
		His own mother is up the coast in Whitstable and he goes there twice a week to paint; his studio is a room in her house.

		But he was unable to settle down and soon departed for nearby Canterbury, where he adopted the pseudonym Billy Childish and started his first band, the mod-inspired proto-punk Pop Rivets.
		Part of the reason Childish has been able to record so much material over the years (more than 60 albums over the last two decades) is that he's utterly uninterested in polish, finesse, and technical sophistication.
		What he's interested in are the raw, wounded passions and lurid emotions that shape all human beings, and he seems to have uniquely direct access to his own.

		However, Childish has now slammed White in an open letter, saying: "Though I have undoubtedly angered Jack White, I think it's a bit nasty of him to accuse me of plagiarism merely because his former admiration of my work was not reciprocated."
