@C Master I like a lot of different Irish bands other then U2 lol. The video is unavailable here in Canada :(.
Since this is a favorite this time of the year. It should be enjoyed all year though.

Shane McGowan to me is one of the greatest poets that ever existed. He was familiar with and understood all of Joyce's work by the age of eight and you can hear the influences particularly in that song and Rainy night in Soho. As Joyce's father said of his son James “If that fellow was dropped in the middle of the Sahara, he’d sit, be God, and make a map of it”. Shane McGowan truly captures what he has seen. I could go on and on. I can only hope he will be recognised in the future by those outside the art world.
