“This man coming to Ireland with all the baggage he brings means the people of Ireland’s freedoms are being eroded as well.

“Irish musicians have always lent their voices to music and issues. It’s great to see people who do become involved and do get up on platforms to make their voices heard.”

"A hundred thousand welcomes" for King George!

1. This is fucking great

...as Bono would say.

:evilgrin:

[The Stranger]

3. I don't see Bono listed.

Why isn't he a part of this?

[htuttle]

5. I've been wondering what's up with him

I wonder if spending so much time with Paul O'Neill corrupted him.

OTOH, hanging out with Bono may have corrupted Paul O'Neill (or woke him up).

:evilgrin:

6. Bono's absence is screaming. After all of the protest and rebel songs,

an album entitled "War," this is something he should be taking the lead on, and where the fuck is he?

8. Kissing Paul Martin's ass....

most likely.

4. Damien Rice is my Eskimo Friend!

This is great

7. That's a proper welcome.

I knew the Irish wouldn't let us down.

:bounce:

And they don't take well to bossy boots coming to tell them what to do.

9. Christ y Moore!!!

Gawd he is the best, I have three of his CD's. This is going to be one incredible recording!!

12. Christy Moore - the very best - a musical genius!

[MaineDem]

10. The concert is called "When Bush Comes to Shove"

God love the Irish.

I am so proud right now to be one of them!
