Bing Selfish

about

BING SELFISH "Pop music for the cynical present -- bright, breezy, sardonic, witty, a work of dazzling luminosity that confirms Phil Ochs's contention that 'In such an ugly time, the true protest is beauty.'" "Essential for anyone who thinks that rock, politics and humour can't occupy the same mental and aesthetic space" - The Wire (UK) Included in The Wire magazine's list of "60 singers and songs that broke the mould" (May 2004) for his personal anthem 'The Ideal' ; Bing Selfish is the dapper crooning Dean Martin of the disaffected and disenfranchised. A South London myth whose songs of intrigue / betrayal / lust / science and imagination scan the 20th century and beyond...holding a hand out in a lyrical gesture of hope Bing Selfish & The Ideals -to those living under the yolk of the Fab Me generation. In 1965 Bobbie Dylan was laying his ear on the highway of chaos, creativity and confusion and Bringing it all back home, now and Selfish is doing the same only better, he's Binging it all back home. Bing Selfish is a suave, debonair, sophisticated, well travelled, articulate, politically hip, witty, sharp, free-thinking, modest individual. An elusive creature, a chameleon on the street of reality, for as he himself says "Life is change, change is life". According to his still unpublished autobiography, Bing Selfish was born in the small village of Dzhebel in Southern Bulgaria in the year 1900. Unlikely as this might seem he refuses to accept any other version of events a
