Billy Childish: Childish attitude
5th Sep 2005, 14:25 GMT
There are a few things that people know about Billy Childish. That he is a punk rocker, the founder of Thee Milkshakes, Thee Headcoats and Buff Medways. That he is a poet and autobiographer who detailed his love life and childhood sexual abuse in bitter, dyslexic prose in Sex Crimes of the Futcher and My Fault. He is infamously a co-founder of the Stuckists, the merry band of back-to-basics artists who demonstrate in clown suits outside the Saatchi Gallery and howl in protest against the absurdities of conceptual art. But most people know him in another guise: Tracey Emin's ex-boyfriend, her biggest critic and her bête noire.
