Thread Name: The world's favorite song - A Nation Once Again
Subject: RE: The world's favorite song - A Nation Once Again
It's all a bit sad that, firstly, such a poll is taken serioulsy, and secondly, that a group of Irish/Irish ex-pats choose a song about aspirations of nationhood. I thought the Irish had achieved the status of being "A Nation Once Again" a long time ago!
Now if you had chosen something like Tommy Sand's "Your Daughters and Your Sons" that would have been something. Nationhood is not always equated to freedom.
