Thread Name: Gaughan on the nature of 'Tradition'
Subject: RE: Gaughan on the nature of 'Tradition'
Agreed G.

'Kicking the Pope', Conrad, FYI, is not a 'song' that I have ever heard neither. To 'Kick the Pope', is to beat the livin' shit out of your Lambeg Drum; a kind of Cozy Powell meets Loyalism, if you will. I'm a bit surprised that you don't know this, considering your 'expertise' in other departments.
As a general rule, I don't sing Irish rebel Songs neither - It's just not what I do in my day to day repertoire. So your previous assumption is wrong also.

You see, Conrad, you described, you characterised, you categorised into sets and subsets - and you never even dipped your bucket in!! Or maybe you don't like beef sausages and vegetable roll?
Very good, Conrad!!

Just look up from your screen, there, for a minute.
Do you see that big wide flat thing that is standing next to the door?
It's called a wall.

Go talk to it.
