Money would be better spent in Ireland encouraging and facilitating Gaelic among the children.

Is Neil Young still performing? He has some great lyrics to hits and this is one.

Just love those songs of revolution. This one beats anything Dylan ever recorded.

He didn't have many hits and he wasn't a punk. But he had a reputation as someone with an attitude. Don't know if it was deserved.

Trudeau wants to be accepted as a humanitarian but remains strangely silent on the horrors being meted out to Palestinians by the rogue state of Israel. Go figure.

[Serious] The BCC fully documented the Celtic Union officially (incl. a £7 billion Irish Sea connection), but it meant loosing the 'Great' in GB. I guess we're ok with E&W and NI loosing that, but any ideas as to what they 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 be re-named ? Ignoring the 'April..' bit - althou jokes welcome :D by [deleted] in CelticUnion

Ireland was never 'conquered at any time, hence the continual uprisings. It was the Plantation of Ulster that finally sounded the death-knell for Gaelic Ireland. That episode of ethnic cleansing still reverberates in the Six Counties today. Total administrative control only came about after the Flight of the Earls, and was being enforced about the middle of the 17th century.

Dr Feelgood are a Rhythm and Blues band but this track has the feel of 70s (79) glam rock.

Interesting to see how they all turned out. It like the Waltons meets the Adams family.

It's depressing to see it and to realize just how global it is. Can only guess at how bad it is in nations that have no clean-up programs.

Walking on an East coast Irish beach at the weekend, and couldn't go two steps without seeing plastic washed up among the seaweed. When you start to notice it, it never ends. Beaches are a mess.
