To the cowards above who are afraid to log in and instead use the Guest label.
If you put yourself forward for election in whatever country you live in , who many people would vote for you ? not many is the answer.
Say what you will about Bobby Sands ,he will go down in history as a patriot , at least in Ireland.
How many poems or songs or books have you written ? sweet feck all I would say.
Babby Sands has written at least three fine songs which are still being played today by ballad singers throughout the world.
'Back Home In Derry' ,which was originally called 'The Voyage ' ,McIlhatton' and 'Sad Song For Susan' with the help of Brendan McFarlane.
Christy Moore thought so much about the songs that he includes them at most of his gigs.
Also Guest ,God forbid ,but if you were to die today how many would attend your funeral ? 80,000 attended the burial of Bobby Sands , that's how much respect the man han here in Ireland.
