Fields of Athenrye (?) is a song that is anti-English, but it is about how people were sent to Australia both Catholic and Protestant met the same fate, so I understand the anti-English songs, but hate the way people hijack it for political reasons.I have said the Wolftones bug the *&"^ out of me before, but when I consider what has been said about the songs you sing and why, it has changed my opinions a bit.
I agree that the anti-catholic songs of the orange order are very offensive, it shows an ignorance and ingratitude that does nothing but stir it up.
I know I started from an Irish perspective I'm interested in songs that offend in general, I do not want to relate every thing to Ireland.
Religous songs can be pretty near the knuckle.
