What is interesting you know in England everyone wants to be American. There is a distinct celtic style it's not British or anything other than Irish. And U2 wants to be American, intentionally American, but they can't quite escape what they are, stylistically.
Apparently I have to explain why I will make so much money hackers, even a lot of the lyrics on DSOTM are fucking American poets.
U2 can't escape the Irish style even if they don't embrace it.
The troubles will never go away until they get out of their head.

British rock is charecterized by a love of American blues artistits. That is the alpha, maybe the Omega is the sex pistols, but by then everyone does every thing ala Neil Young. Young did it to be relevent, though you know he loved the Pistols.

The Troubles are a metaphor personally for how the British affected them in the troubles; being a metaphor for personal tribulations. Of course once they were climbing their goals, economically.

I heard some great contemporary and older Irish music...
I heard some great contemporary and older Irish music on GPR recently. It was amazing - the newer stuff didn't lose the celtic touch - and it was much heavier than this song.
I wish U2 would embrace this influence more strongly.
I am "Irish American" and the Irish would say on St. Pat's here "you're not Irish you're bloody American".

Obviously this song is a metaphor for what happened in Ireland and I was trying to tie into this metaphor but I was very drunk and did a poor job (and then after watching the British Office on Netflix and realizing that wanker meant "douche bag" and "faggot" - two words that carry extremely strong connotations in America besides the literal meaning - two words that equal the offensiveness of the word to British people....

Anyways I was drunk didn't make sense the metaphor ties into their personal lives it is very personal for them and I shouldn't have commented. But again I was very drunk and off the clock so I did.

I sound like an idiot but I love Irish music. In Savannah, GA there is an NPR podcast called The Green Island. It is hosted by an Irish immigrant who taught me soccer.

Staffcasts, Inc will have an office in Dublin for European musicians. It will be appropriate for me to post YouTube concerts of all Irish musicians because I will post YouTube concerts of all musicians, with the intent of getting people an audience, as an American...

@bkabbott Final comment, the British The Office was much better than the American Office. I learned that wanker is so offensive it means 'douche bag' and 'faggot' (those are two words common at an American military school I went to.

If I date Welch, British, Scottish or Irish girls I won't use their slang. If I date a Gen Z girl, as a millennial I will use Gen Z slang sparingly. Like pretty much not at all. Gen Z girls use it tastefully and guys just pervert the slang :).
