erin go bragh!

This year, St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 15th because the church decreed it couldn't fall during Holy Week. I didn't have time to get together a proper St. Patrick's Day post, but since last year's has been getting quite a few hits, I have a great excuse for a repost. Here's music from some of Ireland's finest bands, enjoy:

	Three great groups. That Peel Session version of "whiskey in the jar" is better than the normal single, imho. nice. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The single version ended up on the CD repackage of Vagabonds of the Western World. Thin Lizzy has to be one of the underrated bands of all time, they had a twin guitar attack reminiscent of Steve Hunter & Dick Wagner's work with Lou Reed/Alice Cooper. I found this video over at Rock Town Hall, I never knew Phil Lynott had an one-off band of all-star musicians: (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I always thought VM was at his best with Them. And I'm still shocked that Shane hasn't died yet. Or is he a zombie? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	snuh 2008-03-16 12:02 am UTC (link)
	Morrison stretched out artistically after Them, I would say his time with Them was more focused. I wish I could find the pic of Shane with three dead tooth stumps that now make up his choppers. I really had assumed he was dead until I saw he was still half-alive. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

Saw Shane with the Popes about 10 years ago. Opening band played, DJ comes on. DJ doesn't leave. After an hour people are getting a bit pissed. Turns out Shane is missing. The Popes come on, say they are gonna play a set, give refunds. As they are play, showered by thrown bottles, I notice off to the side a pair of heavies dragging in Shane. A new shirt is on him, you can still see the pins and folds from the packaging, as you never perform with a puke-covered shirt. He comes on and plays the full set and doesn't drop a lyric.

I hear many years later that he was only 2 bars down holding court and completely drenched in distilled and fermented glory when they found him. No surprise when I hear he's gone.

Great story! I think he's another Keith Richards, he must have extraterrestrial blood in him.

I have a similar story about Johnny Thunders. I was dating a gal that was a DJ at a local station and she was a huge NY Dolls fan, so she grabbed some tickets for us when Johnny was scheduled to come to town. The show was over two hours late, we talked to the promoter and was told that Thunders was in a bad way, he was heroin-sick and needed a fix so he could perform. A few phone calls and they acclimated Johnny and he slowly made his way to the stage. He performed solo acoustic and sat on a stool for about 30 minutes before he said goodnight. His last song was the apt, You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory, he was dead a few months later.

I wish we could have done something then and I wish we could do more now. "Thus, it becomes hard to avoid the conclusion that it has not been so much about ⌠saving the innocent■≈though that▓s the cover story the government sells to Americans to make giving up their hard-earned dollars and children to this lousy war≈but about oil: who has it, who needs it, who wants to get better control over it.
