I could never understand how nobody told Phil Lynott that the lyric 'Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak, somewhere in this town' didn't work, all the way up to releasing it as a single.

and when I was a nipper I thought Adam Ant was singing "Stand on the liver"

A lot of those Irish folky bands in the 70s (e.g. Planxty among others) sang in a ludicrous Oirish accent. At least I think they were all putting it on, maybe I'm wrong. It sounds silly, lads.

I really like Andy Irvine's put on Irish accent.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Yeah, I don't mind his, it's the Irish accented lads doing it that perplexes me.

Even worse, Christy Moore singing in a Dublin accent in the 60s

The Dubliners' put-on Dublin accents were also ace face.

My why is why do people get SOOOOO EXCITED about a new band from Williamsburg or Seattle or San Fran or whatever that have precisely two songs and a remix to their name? I love one hit wonders but when people act like band x is their new reason to live after a very short period of them being in the public eye I scratch my head in bewilderment. (that is to say, I am old)

All folk musicians do this don't they? Not just the Irish

Some people like to appear like they are up on the latest trends, I guess.
Most people like music for more than its inherent qualities. For many, it's like a badge.
Sometimes a new song can genuinely move you though.

Oh of course, I love me a new song that I play to death but I don't act like I must see the band live and everyone must have an opinion on them STAT.

No, what is that?

No, what is that?

I'm guessing he means him who regularly googles himself, Cim Jarroll.

 

[Jerry Twig]

Cim Jarroll.
