Seeing as how I accidentally went all Kurt Cobain recently I thought I’d share a few thoughts about the great man himself. As was the case for many of us – well those of us lucky enough to be old/young enough to experience his music first hand – I first heard Kurt screaming his way […]
Welcome to the Jungle? Botanical Garden, more like. I was at Guns N Roses cynical comeback tour last weekend in Dublin. The concert, held in the 25,000 capacity RDS, had two stages. The second stage was headlined by the brilliant Therapy? (“Nowhere”, “Die Laughing”) with somewhat-able support from Lauren Harris, Voodoo Six and a couple […]
I might come across as all nice and stuff here (right? …. ) but really I’m a bile-filled person who loathes large sections of society. First up for a verbal thumping are bouncers. You might know them as “doormen”. They are the gentlemen hired by public establishments such as pubs, night clubs, casinos and venues […]
My thanks to my good friend Liz for pointing me in the direction of this sad yet bizarre story from the United States. A man has been charged with the murder of his wife with the key evidence being that he downloaded Guns N’ Roses’ “I Used to Love Her” track on the day of […]

Tyson visited Ireland recently to catch up with his boxing friend Joe Egan and say ‘Happy Mothers Day’ to Egan’s mum. In fairness to the convicted rapist he […]

The radio is always good for a bit of entertainment. While I’m a big music fan, one look at my profile will indicate that few bands I like ever get played on it. So I really only listen to talk radio. In Dublin that means Newstalk 106. Fine station, it is. Sean Moncrieff is the […]
Disgust The hostility between football fans is something that a lot of people don’t understand. Outside of a few hundred diehard fans, there is little aggressive behaviour noticeable in the sparsely populated grounds of League of Ireland clubs. So it’s with, at best, puzzlement, at worst, disgust, that we read about the latest battle between […]
