Im not Irish but I know alot of Irish that live here in New Zealand and its probably the one day of the year that hundreds of thousands of workers here take a few hours off work or not go at all to celebrate another countries anniversary...ST.PATRICKS DAY
Well along with my good Irish and British friends its going to be a big night in town tonight at my local Irish bar with British Rock played to the early hours.. Yes! there will be plenty of Stones and U2 and whats St.Patricks Day without a few arguments and friendly fights between the Irish and English there'll be quite a bit of that to..ya can be sure of that but all in good fun.What are your plans for St.Patricks Day?

Forget the British rock and give something more Irish a chance for Paddy's day:





Happy St. Paddy's day everyone!

Here's a song written by one of Keith's favorite bass players:






(a track from the You're Nice People You Are album, not At Yankee Stadium as pictured )


Starts out as a celebration of a specific cultural holiday and deftly turns into a message of universal human brotherhood. A model of lyric brevity and economy, where not a word is wasted. An understated, brilliant bit of songwriting.

Since I am part Irish we have always celebrated St. Patrick's day but here in the states the holiday seems to have gotten much bigger over the years. When I was a kid it seemed like a minor holiday but like Halloween it has become much more commercialized over the years.

"Lyin' awake in a cold, cold sweat. Am I overdrawn, am I going in debt?
It gets worse, the older that you get. No escape from the state of confusion I'm in.

My husband says this is the ONLY day he's NOT Irish. It's turned into another amateur night here in the U.S. We're going to 2 parties but I'd rather be shot - i'm a extremely hung over - sick enough to be prayed for.

Say it with dead flowers...

ED ANGER SAYS, “I HATE ST. PATRICK’S DAY”
Posted on Friday, March 16th, 2012

I’m madder than a Irishman without cabbage in his pants about Americans celebrating St. Patrick’s Day!
I still hate the Irish!

Why do we let these red-headed, ruddy-faced, potato-eating Paddy-lovers take over our city streets every March 17th?! These Blarney-tards get wasted, wear plaid skirts with no underwear and swing shillelaghs every other day of the year – why do they need another day to hop around in bowler hats.

And they don’t need a parade to direct them to the nearest bar. They can find a pub on their own – it’s usually where they live.

Everybody knows the Irish are some of the dumbest people on earth – they don’t even know you can use your arms when you dance! They think staring at a four-leafed shamrock is a better way to get money then actually having a job. The Irish are so lazy even Mexicans won’t pick them up for day labor.

Even Mayor Bloomberg hates St. Patrick’s Day. He recently said St. Patrick’s Day honors Irish-Americans who like to get “totally inebriated and hang out the window waving little Irish flags.” Hizzoner is right! And he’s short enough to be Irish!

Yeah, yeah… they’re good storytellers, but that’s because they lie about everything. That’s why they have so many freckles. Every time they lie they get a new one.

The Irish believe in leprechauns and pots of gold and fairies. Should we really be encouraging these people to drink? Bono is so drunk, he never even remembers to take off his sunglasses. Stack him on top of Colin Farrell and they’re still a foot shorter than the average American.

Oh Danny Boy, please save me from hearing an Irishman sing on St. Patrick’s Day! The Pipes are calling you… back to Ireland. Leave my American ears alone, kiss MY Blarney stone!

So folks, boycott St. Patrick’s Day! Don’t wear green. Don’t say “kiss me, I’m Irish” even though you’re a Puerto-Rican-Jew. Don’t let them pour green dye into your beer. And don’t stand anywhere near an Irishman unless you like urine and vomit!

Erin Go Away! End St. Patrick’s Day!

LOLing!!!
As related to the Boston Irish & me. My owns' gran-mare's mum came over 'pon the boat, ya know...I can definitely take a few jokes about my pedigree...

As long as you don't mention Gram Parsons or the Rolling Stones mate...I tink we're on safe ground.

God Love Ya!
Happy Saint Paddy's!!!!!!

St. Patrick's Day is turning into a real money maker. That's what it's all about really. Too smart for our own good

I'm Irish by the way - don't be jealous

I love these guys. Thanks for posting.
BTW, I need to find the guy that had the gun at my head last night FORCING me to drink another shot of Bushmills...ARGH - As Sinatra once said, I feel sorry for people who don't drink - when they wake up, that's the best they'll feel all day.

Definitely been channeling my "inner-Keith" a tad too much this weekend.
Cheers & cheese

Thanksyourwelcome

btw- dont tell anyone but...
Not only did I post those, but I filmed them too, my work,
and I am quite delighted with them, DKM ROCK!!! and I still
find myself watching my own videos just to KICK IT LEROY!!!

Last night on Palladia they premiered "DKM live at Fenway", if
you have that channel check it out, Im sure they will reshow it.
Personally I liked the tunes on the above tour better than what
they showed (maybe there is more) but still on Palladia, in HiDef rocked....

PS
Drinking is a good thing to do this time of year.... and other times too.
