irish twitter is insane. [View all]

during my brief absence from my home here, i started hanging on twitter more. it's been really interesting. dont let anyone tell you that those on the isle dont like their american cousins.
if u actually know your history, they accept u. i picked up several followers over there, including steven travers of miami show band fame.
this nonsense about the irish women footballers singing- up the ra- getting a lot of play today.
i'm finding it interesting, cuz it's the rebel songs i love the best. but i was told- dont sing the songs from the troubles, no one wants to hear it, and you're libel to start a fight. well, i see that's true, but then the same person asked me to sing both 'grace' and '4 green fields', both songs from the troubles.

about to go post this on twitter now, as it is a big fave of mine.
