Hell *everybody's* fair game. Ya wanna make sumpthin' outta it , Boyo ?

I guess my mixed feelings on Irish *thrashers* can be summed up in one personality; Bob Geldorph and his "Boomtown Rats". What he was able to acheive with his "Live Aid" concert concept was historic and to be looked upon with as a reminder of what *the music* can acheive.

Yet I still wouldn't subject myself *willingly* to the music of the *thrash rock* of "Boomtown Rats". Post-Clash punk-strutting was all it was and will ever be.

Go figure.
