FireOpal Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 James Patrick Page is part-Irish! Many important & beloved rock musicians are the spawn of Irish immigrants: Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Kate Bush (her mum is from Ireland & Kate did a lovely version of the trad Irish tune "Women of Ireland/Mna Na H'Eireann" in the 90's); Jon Anderson of Yes, every one of The Smiths, nearly everyone in Oasis, Echo & the Bunnymen, etc. P.S. I know you're just kidding Sinead doing a barn-burning rendition of "Óró 's é do bheatha 'bhaile": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxRj-ejoJaM&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotplant Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Happy St Paddy's Day all!!! I'll be sharing a drink with my son and family in Germany soon via webcam. Great day to forget the worlds troubles, if only for a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvermedalist Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Top O' the mornin' to all my Led Zeppelin friends. May luck find you as you find your way through the day. Put my corned beef in the crock this morning and will cook the cabbage and potatos tonight and serve with rye bread. Mmmmm! I broke down and cooked it. Best brisket I have ever had!! Cooked it for four hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireOpal Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 So silvermedalist, did you get pinched for not wearing green? I'm not trying to drag out St. Patrick's Day, I just think this old Guinness commercial is so cute and funny: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I've never understood the appeal of St. Patrick's Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidersandsnakes Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I've never understood the appeal of St. Patrick's Day. It's all about wine, women and song...and having fun witr the luck 'o the Irish :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 To me it just seems like an excuse for public drunkenness and debauchery, which I'll never see the appeal of. I like having a good time as much as the next person, but too many people take it too far. I don't go out on St. Patrick's Day, the same as I don't on New Year's Eve. Being around all those drunks? Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't go out either, we just celebrate by wearing green We ended up having baked pasta for dinner last night too, the kids won't eat corned beef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I love corned beef. It's hard to find around here, though. At least where we are, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireOpal Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I hardly drink anymore. The day is about celebrating one's Irish heritage, however one chooses to do that. I'd agree that throngs of drunks in the street is not a great way of representin' our culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
