Hi Guys. In better form today. Had a great sleep and only one more complaint about my alleged laziness on Stage. I guess 3 complaints is not that bad. I would love to have weighed them against loads of praise but the weight would be about equal so I would rather just live in the Denial that Irish people find it easier to criticise than to praise.
Off to London in 2 hours and then to Birmingham on Thursday for the weekend. Have not done a gig in the UK since before Christmas so I have some work to do. I wonder what the British are going to think about Abrakebabra.
Really can't believe the Referendum is in 2 days. I would like to think of myself as a pretty clued in guy but I definitely have not recieved enough information. I am totally confused. I hate people talking about being like the rest of Europe. The same Party that says we are more like Boston than Brussels. I certainly am hoping for a no vote simply because it is an issue that seems to be being sold on one or two issues eg Pregnant Woman and the integrity of citizenship. However it appears to me to affect so much more than that.
I find it funny that the other issue that we are very different from Europe on is abortion. Reading the Irish Iimes today I see that we have a bye on any Euro votes on that issue. I know that is because we have so much care for the unborn child. But I will tell you right now the moment it is born I don't care if he is in Ireland or not once he is not Irish he can fuck off.
I can't wait to go home to New York where I can hang out with all my Irish American friends I grew up with. Unlike me they have never been to Ireland. Like me before I came to Ireland they have never heard of the 1916 rising and they think that Northen Ireland is in the middle of a civil war. There expression of Irishness is getting drunkon St. Patricks day and having some weird desire to support Notre Dame football team. I know 2 of them that have Irish Citizenship and all of them can. All of them will get it if they ever want to travel because its a better passport then the US. They might not even come to Ireland. They don't have to in order to get it. But who cares if they were not born here. Who cares if they hate the way Ireland reacted after September the 11th. There Grandparents were Irish and thats enough for me. Plus they could turn out to be good Goal Keepers and play for the Irish Team one day.
ON a lighter note here is a picture I found at irish beats from the Dilated Peoples gig. Its me MC ROb Kelly and DJ OC
