Thread Name: Which Irish Troubles Songs are Offensive
Subject: RE: Which Irish Troubles Songs are Offensive
I wouldn't worry about it. Whatever WLD was trying to say, I didn't get it. I enjoy what the wee drummer has to say too.
My only point in participating in this thread has been to add a little humour.
It's a stupid thread and Jed (whose name is right below Big Mick's on the list) had the decency to come back and apologize for it.
On one of the earlier posts, I noted that Marc Gunn was asked to stop singing "The Patriot Game" while walking around at the Austin Irish Festival.
Several things amazed me about this, the main one being that Brobdingnagian Barbs were hired for the festival but to the credit of the organizers I would have to say.... "Marc: It wasn't the song that they found offensive".

"Stewballs" is another.
