Thread Name: irish rebel songs?
Subject: RE: irish rebel songs?
I believe protocol deigns that any song becomes a provo song when any words are substituted for 'F*ck the Queen', and similarly (and ecumenically) a Loyalist song when the same words are substituted for 'F*ck the Pope'. I've often been moved by the sheer vitality of the Irish musical tradition.
