You'd better get born in some place else

Gestern ist mir aus dem Nichts „The January Man“ von #ChristyMoore eingefallen, ein Lied, das ich früher sehr geliebt und oft gespielt habe, dann aber lange nicht mehr. Vielleicht war es sogar der Anfang meines Faibles für Spieluhrenmelodien. Wenn ich die Aufnahme heute höre, kommt es mir seltsam fremd vor, eben wie die Fassung eines Liedes, das ich von anderswo anders kenne.

In today's story we visit the site of one of Ireland's greatest tragedies...The Stardust Nightclub fire of 1981. This is a story of a long fight for justice, of the price of speaking out against authority, as well as, the many safety violations that came to light later. Blessings to all.

Sunflowers - Mike Harding (Sung by Christy Moore)

She confronted soldiers on her street
Ignoring guns, grenades, and gibbering headsets
She offered them a handful of sunflower seeds

"Keep them in your pockets, boys
That flowers may blossom from your graves
Forever a monument to the children you have murdered
And the families you have destroyed

Christy Moore's Dunnes Stores is a timely reminder that the Irish siding with the oppressed is not a recent phenomenon.

“ Let me tell you a story, I'll be quick as I can.
Terrible news from the #HolyLand
Pictures of children etched in my mind.
Buried in the rubble, on the firing line.
The Jews and the Arabs lived one and the same.
A thousand years, then the Zionists came.
Came like a river, came like a flood.
Al #Nakba was written on the wall in blood."
