Things I should have known before now... (2 Viewers)

I find a room full of people from tge republic of Ireland singing "you'll never kill our will to be free" a bit nauseating. The Brits left a hundred years ago.

It's a very malleable sentiment. Socio-economically free? Colonially free? Solidarity with the rest of the human race free?

When he plays live Damo sometimes gives a good talk about what he thinks the song means to him. It's very effective. The last "free" there ties in with Rastafarianism, Reggae, one love and all that. And people like smoking weed.

That said, any time I've seen him in Dublin, there's always a small group of fans wearing badly printed "IRA: Undefeated Army" t-shirts, or similar. They love that tune but don't really pay attention to the gig at all. That's nauseating indeed.
 
I actually do agree with you.

If I let myself go with it, it can be a very powerful song. But really, intellectually I do think it's a bit naff. Ham-fisted. I'd love to live in the Iveagh flats, they're not tenement slums and infested with rats. I think Damo is genuine with it though, and with the best of intentions.
 
it's the only one of the star trek movies i have any real memory of. the rest just kind of blend together.

me too. back in the late 80s my dad got a box of 'tapes' that were being chucked from the local video rental place (he used to drink with the owner).
That, gremlins, and little shop of horrors were the only kid friendly ones.
In two channel land they got watched to death.
 
i do remember the scene in the wrath of khan with the worm crawling into chekov's ear. was probably 10 when i saw that.
Me too. Great scene that inspired a deadly song:
