Thread Name: Irish Rebel Songs as Social Document?
Subject: RE: Irish Rebel Songs as Social Document?
When I posted about falsely historical rebel songs, their pernicious influence was immediately demonstrated by Fiolar.
He offered 4 examples of songs not in that category, and every one was.
The songs he has always known and loved were not what he thought them to be.
He said he had many more examples, but none offered yet.

For me the enjoyment of these songs is tainted by the knowledge that they bear a responsibity for the human and economic catastrophe of the last 40 years.
