Priča Britanca Billy Childisha, koliko tužna je, toliko je i fascinantna. U svojim pričama, pesmama, poeziji, slikarstvu, otvoren i iskren koliko to forma dozvoljava, a i više od toga. Zlostavljan u detinjstvu, 15 godina života proveo je na socijalnoj pomoći. Bio je i velika ljubav čuvene umetnice Tracy Emin. Pravo čudo je kako uprkos svojoj disleksiji, uspeva da artikuliše svoja osećanja i stavove i da uvek bude na strani slabijih i nemoćnih. I biva nejasno da zemlja koja uz Sjedinjene Države drži pod kontrolom 85% svetskih banaka i investicionih fondova ne uspeva da ostvari iole ravnopravnije, konfornije i poštenije odnose. Da othrani svoju ne baš tako brojnu zajednicu. Bezbrojni su projekti i bendovi u kojima se ostvario Billy Childish, ili William Charlie Hamper, danas već na pragu 65e godine. Izvorni skiffle, beat, garažni punk rock, art brut, pa folk i slične forme dominiraju u njegovoj poetici. Nekad Holly Golightly, nekad njegova životna saputnica Julie Hemper, uvek je tu neka jaka ženska osoba na njegovoj strani. Childish nije tako popularan i poznat. Ipak cene ga i neke daleko popularne osobe i istance. Čak i pokojni Kurt Cobain nije bio imun na njegova ostvarenja. Jedna od najbolje čuvanih tajni britanskog popa, zaslužuje da se o njoj više raspravlja i piše. Davno, nastupao je i u malom gradu u kome živim preko 30 godina. Znao sam i tada za njega, ali tada nisam bio u mogućnosti da ga gledam. Čovek kome je Van Gogh uzor, objavio je do sada između 130 i 160 naslova, pa tako obimom pretekao i veličine poput Zappae, Dylana i Neila Younga. Teško se odlučiti za neki od njih, koliko liče toliko nose i neku posebnu notu. Često ponavlja fraze poput "fundamentalno" i "elementarno", njegov humor ne ide na prvu ruku i nije za ljude čije je shvatanje popa površno. U slobodno vreme praktikuje jogu i studira Vede. Ali to se teško oseti u tome što radi. Koliko god teži da se udalji od razmišljanja grupe, mase i svakog organizovanog oblika religije i udruživanja, pa i uprkos svom indivudualnom stavu, protivnik svakog obilika totalitarizma, po mom mišljenju Childish je duboko spirituralna ličnost. Ostaje još nešto vremena da i on to sam shvati. Život ga nije i ne miluje. Svako slobodno i dublje razmišljanje navodi nas na to da su nepravde tu da nas podsete na neka davna vremena kada je sve bilo još brutalnije i okrutnije. Ostaje nam nada da čovečanstvo ide u boljem pravcu, a apokalipsa dešava se svaki dan, što je očigledno i čuje se i u svakom Billyjevom uzviku. Sjajan lik, a i to njegovo inspirativno i kreativno okruženje plene pažnju.
