OK Justin, what exactly do you mean, 'immature and unsubtle'? OK, you may not agree with the man but he puts his money where his mouth is - he spent most of 1984/85 playing miners' benefits at the cost of some damage to his health at the time. Or was he just being 'Immature'? True, he's not always been subtle - I thought 'By The People' came close to ruining 'A Different Kind Of Love Song' - but passion often isn't subtle - at least not in our house.

Fair enough, Drumshanty, you gave his music a try and it didn't pull your chain. No harm done. It's nothing to do with any lack of musical knowledge on your part. I took the wife to Dublin to see Planxty last year and although she loved it she still isn't a big fan of the uilleann pipes. There's still time for my daughter, though...
