Happy St. Patrick’s Day
Today, everyone is Irish. So grab a beer and start celebrating! If I had my way, I’d be at the Saw Doctors concert right now, but I got the electric bill from hell this month, so I’m trying to save money 
So, as Plan B, I’m watching the Saw Doctors live DVD “Live In Galway”.
P.S. If you don’t know about the Saw Doctors, get to one of their shows. Don’t bother with the CD’s, just get to one of their shows. Picture the Irish version of Bruce Springsteen. I’m not talking about angst-ridden anti-Bush Springsteen, I’m talking about early Springsteen. The joy-filled, pro-FUN Springsteen. I wish American bands sang about their country with such fondness as the Saw Doctors sing about Ireland. But that’s a post for another day 
A Saw Doctors show is rock and roll + nationalism + joy + love = THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE!
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got my green beer in hand, and I’m off dream of Claire Island and the N17.

too rah loo rah LOO RAH!!!!!! I wished I could have a green beer, but I’m stuck here at work. I reckon that the Saw Doctors might sound like the Dropkick Murphys? Being more than a New Englander (bohn in South Bahston), I kind of like the Dropkick Murphys. I think they got their break with their contribution to the soundtrack for ‘The Departed’. (GREAT movie by the way, makes me want to drop my ‘R’s and hang out in the southie projects.)
