I agree with Justin about Dick's political stance; he just seems so naive. I think he also said something along the lines of he hopes some people will hear his songs and do something to change the world. God almighty me!
I suppose it comes from singing all your life and not getting your hands dirty in the world of work. And he still sings McNeill's lines
"but there's plenty on the dole in the land o the leal" Eh?

Having said all that, I still love a DG concert. Sorry, can't help it, there's just something about the performer that gets me all-a-tingle - the fat, mad, unwashed, daft-guitar-playing git that he is.

Incidentally, "Sail on" was pretty special but I don't think he sings it live.

Simpson and McGoldrick were great, as usual, on DG's telly show.
