3. I was listening to the Corrs earlier

Does that count?

Look, I'm Irish but sick and when I'm sick I like my comfort music (ben taylor).

BTW, still haven't gone to sleep yet.

5. for some strange reason

I have God Save the Queen stuck in my head...

[Bridget Burke]

6. John Lydon, a fine lad of Irish ancestry,

did a rather famous version of God Save the Queen with his first band. (What were they called?)

[northzax]

9. gee, I can't recall,

but they certainly would never have been allowed to perform in Ireland in that era...given that you needed a prescription to buy condoms until 1985...

[Westegg]

12. Lust Rifles? Intercourse Ithaca Pumps? Fuck .45s?

Rut Magnums? Reproduction Repeaters? Love Revolvers?
69 Six-Shooters? Carnal Carbines?

It was something like that...

[DinahMoeHum]

14. The Sex Pistols (Never Mind the Bollocks. . .)

"...God save the Queen, (da-da-da da da)
She ain't no human bein'..." (da-da-da da da)


:evilgrin:

[youngred]

7. Sacrelidge!

hahaha

[northzax]

8. nah, let the colonies

have their little day of celebrations.

Ever notice how it's only those with self esteem problems who throw big parties to celebrate themselves? Maybe there's no St. George's day parades because no one needs reminding of the greatness of England.

10. Well, it's only half Irish, but

Afro Celt Sound System will free your ass--and your mind will follow! I love Stockton's Wing and great Big Sea, too.

[youngred]

13. They are indeed fantastic

thanks for the reminder

[catzies]

16. I dig Afro-Celt Sound System!

*adding them to playlist*

Stockton's Wing? Wuzzat?

[dbt]

21. Stockton's Wing are some MASTER musicians!

Your basic fiddle/whistle/guitar/banjo lineup, but they just play (and sing) the very HELL out of those traditional Irish tunes! Each member was an All-Ireland Champion on his particular axe.

If there were Olympics for musicians, these guys would be Gold medalists.

More here.

Gotta do it....for American Tradition...I know that they didn't eat this stuff in Ireland..but it's American Tradition...I do it....

And, the music. Evolving each year on "the Music."
