My mother - who is Irish - found the way she sang in her accent highly offensive.

Dublin-born Catholic, convent-educated... what definition of ‘Irish’ are you looking for, h?

Or are you one of these English types who thinks that only shít-covered culchies really count as authentically ‘Irish’? The sort for whom only ignorance + poverty = authenticity?

I think you’re better than that, h.

Nobody's better than that, I think. Not even your mum apparently.

In fairness, my old man took me to see "Ipi Tombi", back when I was a kid. lol :titsup:

That's rocknroll, innit. For me, "Linger" is an all-time great performance and song, so well done, her.

Back injury, wunnit? 2-3 weeks job. The wife likes them and mentioned awhile back that they'd cancelled gigs because of it.

My guess is she'd look down her nose at West Brits. Randy as a stoat though by all accounts.

I don't think you could be from Limerick and not carry a deep melancholy inside you somewhere.

I'd settle for a Hendrix. Could have just taken a bit too much of the medicine with a bit too much of the drink without actually intending to kill herself. Best for the family to believe that.

Wasn't there some story that it was the St John's Ambulance who killed Jimi with monstrous incompetence?

Makes sense as in '69 most St John's crew members were nothing like a modern, properly trained paramedic. No experience of drugs ya see.

She killed herself by being ignorant and drinking an absurd amount of water. Always made me despair that her parents tried to use her death as a weapon against Ecstasy when in fact they should have been using it as a platform to increase education about drugs. That girl didn't die because she took ecstasy, she died because she had been horribly misinformed about how ecstasy works.
