On a more serious note, kendall, I appreciate your rockbound opinions a great deal - I agree with both your candidates. I also agree that Kevin Barry and Mourne are good songs, but I think they're a little sappy in their own way -- sweet-tuned and drawing on sentiment. Mourne at least has a good streak of humor in it. To highlight what I mean about Kevin barry, try comparing it side by side with the Night Larry Got Stretched, which is grim, macabre, and funny as hell except for the tragedy it covers.
Mayhap one man's sap is another man's sugar. Check with Willie-O :>).
