Thread Name: Gaughan on the nature of 'Tradition'
Subject: RE: Gaughan on the nature of 'Tradition'
No sense arguing with someone who insists that his tradition as a monopoly on goodness. That must be wonderful- all that truth and singability in all of your songs! To have wheat you must have chaff so you must be eating it all mixed in if you dont see it! Sort of like the people who's farts dont smell! No incitement in republican songs? (do I have to cite the lines again...."off to Dublin in the green in the green....." a song of incitement if I ever heard one and it can be heard on any given weekend in Baltimore amongst others.....Where have you been! I think the prostitution is yours- to the republican line. Remember that your lot have their ritualistic shows of superiority each March 17 when they march war clubs in hand shouting the irish are coming etc....

Enjoy your music but it is a pitty that you can not see the goodness in the works of art of others just because you do not agree with a small aspect of the total multidimensional reality we call song and verse. One eyed people do quite well I hear! good luck to you.
