Pop country is hip-hop for people who are afraid of black people - Steve Earle.

  Perfect.

There also has to be a distinction made between the Irish gack country and actual country music, which is class.

Are we talking stuff thrown into Taylor Sheridan shows or Garth Brooks? That's as much as I know, which is more than I need to know, and what I know is shite.

Young people listening to country, what the fuck? Monaghan had the inbred yokel festival at the weekend, and the amount of teenagers and twentysomethings going to it is mental.  When we were that age, nobody listened to that shit. You had the indie fans, the metalheads, ravers, pop fans, nobody listened to country, everyone considered it crap that old fogeys listened to on Northern Sound.

It's like a generation of young Ryan Tubridys has been spawned.

Go away with yer ould head banging, this is much more craic.

And to think 30 something years ago, I was watching Richard III play on the back of a trailer from that very spot.

Get your hands on the 'Hillbilly Country' LP by Ray Lynam & The Hillbillies from 1971.  Mighty American style country. Get that playing and you'll be mainlining Big Tom before too long.

Was always popular here sure look at Gareth Brooks almost having 5 gigs here years ago before he threw his toys out of the pram. As I was Googling it I find he came back years later and did play 5 gigs. Some lad I never heard of played Slane last night and again tonight.

Dunno where to put it but Jared Leto isn't looking great if what I read about the documentary is true. Was just looking at a thing in the guardian about it and he's declined to comment. Another Hansard?

Was that on this week? I can't see any sign of it coming up in the listings. The accusations have been around for years anyway, he has some quasi-cult siruation going on as well, or had.

Having just sat on the jacks without putting down the seat, jaysus there's some level of panic when you realise what'a happening. But my arse is fat enough that it saved me from a dunking, thankfully. I think.

Decided to clear out some clutter and throw a few books up on Vinted (my sister swears by it) 10 mins. later I'd sold one. That'll do nicely.

Got last minute holiday to Ceuta for fuck all there. Never heard of the place until yesterday but apparently it's all the rage lol

Beach is tiny, lot of competition for good places, and guaranteed to be a sausage fest...
Good luck pal.....

Going off on one here but who reckons this was organised with the US? Trump has shown to dislike Spain greatly regards NATO/Iran also Israel more than cordial with Morocco (1 million Moroccan Jews is sizeable against the near 10 mil pop in Israel) and Israel despise the pro Palestine stance of the Spanish gov. Morocco became the second North African country after Egypt in 1978 with the Camp David Accords to recognise the Jewish State.

Ceuta population is 80,000 odd with 49,000 coming after a few days things could get hairy quite quickly without military support.

I did see a suggestion that it could lead to the island handed to Morocco as supposedly it was disputed at some point but I know nothing about the place other than the latest farce happening there
