In the Olympia in Dublin. Great show. On the screen at the end, some credits rolled, and there was a really cool song playing. If anyone has seen Bill’s latest show, and can name this song, I would really appreciate it!

You don’t mean Axl Rose (whose real name is Bill Bailey) - who are you talking about?

If it’s the comedian Bill Bailey (if not, never mind - I am genetically predisposed to crave disappointment) then I think I vaguely know the music you’re on about, but can’t put a name to it.

Try posting the question on his forum here:

Bill Bailey (the comedian) rules. I see him every so often at the Comedy Cellar in NYC, and one of his jokes was my AIM sig for about 6 months:

You know what really bugs me about the subway? It’s those slowpokes in front of me on the stairs. What I want to know is, how do they keep beating me there?

So – did he finally come home?

When I saw him in Melbourne earlier this year, the credit music was “Godless” by the Dandy Warhols.

Awesome show, too, and I hear he’s got a DVD on the way.
