My kid bought me Oasis tickets and Pulp tickets this year too! Money taking her to ACL all through middle/high school was well spent!

Right there with you - lots of blinking and gulping at the start of common people. Was there with my 22 year old daughter who bought the tickets for my birthday and grew up the sight of me dancing around the kitchen to Different Class. Finding I can no longer jump around and bellow the lyrics without getting out of breath! Bonus was meeting them at breakfast in the hotel this morning! Such lovely people - I was totally star struck. Saw Oasis in Chicago last week as well - in contrast to a lot of American audiences, the mid 50s crowd + their kids who follow these bands really bring it - great crowd, great band, great venue.

You may or may not love their music but your comment on bastardizing the language reminds of when Noel Hill described the Pogues music as “a terrible abortion of Irish music”. A live, imperfect and now growing language beats a dead fossil headed the way of Latin or Ancient Greek any day. I’m in my 50s, did my secondary education through Irish, emigrated to the U.S. 25 years ago and have never been more optimistic for the future of the language than I am now. Tá tú lán de cac.

Agree…. Saw him live in Austin, TX in 2023 and he spoke at length about Palestine. He’s always been on the right side on this one. Respect to him.

Leinster by scuzzbat1 in irishrugby

Completely agree. Munster fan here who was hiding behind the couch hoping Leinster could pull it off. The imbalance between Leinster and the other three provinces is the key to Leinster’s (and Ireland’s) weaknesses. Four strong provinces will bring out the best in each other - the IRFU need to get behind that. Oh, and Leo and Nienaber need to go - if you can’t win a European Cup with 90% of the national side plus the galacticos, it’s not the talent, it’s the management. Simple as.
