No, Danny Boy....

What a poor excuse "Because it was written by an Englishman". Music has no borders with each person takeing away his own thoughts and emotion. Music is the one thing left without politics. Ask that a song not played because it's heard ad nauseum - fine, but because of political B.S. is simply childish.

Spot on, Grant. I wonder how big the outcry would be if the tables were turned?

Perhaps someone should play a Burns song for this publican on St. Patrick's Day, or at least one particular verse:

Then let us pray that come it may
(as come it will for a' that)
That Sense and Worth, o'er a' the earth
Shall bear the gree an' a' that
For a' that an' a' that
It's coming yet for a' that
That man to man, the world o'er
Shall brithers be for a' that*

Emphasis mine.

Regards,
