It's good. And being someone of Irish bearing myself. I do not find this a disservice to U2's work. Yes, it is a song about a really god awful event in Irish history. A day in history that I am not fond of, hate is never something that a nation can be proud of. I believe in a unified Ireland, not divided by religion and age old hate. This is why there is still unrest, because we are still holding on to the past. Yes, the British have had a horrible history in dealing with Ireland, but if you hang on to this with all the glory of Michael Collins and the IRA all we will breed is more hate. There is no room for hate like that anymore, if we can't grow away from it then we might as well become the Middle East where you're constantly at war over religion and a this person did that mentality. Peace.
Re:Ms McGillicutty... Rock on! \ Re: Sassy1Pants.... Grow up! He's 91. No one said that you really have to agree with his views. My grandfather is 85 and he says tons of non-politically correct things all the time. Doesn't mean they are bad people. I don't agree with his sentiment either, however, in his generation that is a perfectly normal opinion. Also, it's his opinion. You don't have to like it. This is still a free country. If you were from his generation you would probably be the same. Don't condemn what you cannot possibly understand. Unless you were around in 1917, you have no concept of his beliefs. Props to him for still being on his game, and cracking jokes like that. I hope I can be that witty at 91. Amen Mr. Borgnine.
Dina is going to bust an aneurysm over this one. It sucks when someone more famous than calls you a stage mom and fame whore all in one go. Thank you Anderson Cooper for telling it like it is.
