Book review The Road by Cormac McCarthy Readers may be familiar with this particular story-line, having watched the movie adaptation starring Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit-McPhee. I will confess to not being among that number who have viewed the silver-screen’s take on the tale. I’m not sure that I ever want to either, since […]
The lads from County Cork are back with this scorcher. Rebel Voice – supporting home-grown music
…. Not that they are unique in this respect. ‘Trump demands Maduro regime in Venezuela release ‘illegally’ held opposition leaders’ …Even though Israel routinely arrest or assassinate Palestinian leaders without a word of condemnation. Not to mention the hundreds of families terrorised by the Israeli Defence Force with their deliberate night time raids on those…

In today’s Irish News we can see how that arch-bigot, Will.I.Am (a wanker) Frazer, has declared that he is intending to hold another ‘Love Ulster’ march in Dublin in September. Although Frazer is accepted by many as a clown of the highest order, I think it worthwhile to remember just how much anger can be […]
This song by McCartney is explicit in its message and was banned at the time of its release as being unsuitable for public broadcasting. The video comes complete with Spanish subtitles.

Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry The tag-line on the cover of this book reads, An epic journey that will change their lives forever… The story does indeed chart an epic journey. This is an epic book. Larry McMurtry’s novel won him a Pulitzer, and I can understand why. Lonesome Dove is a classic in the […]
Listening to this version of the Eagles classic, I had to fight the overwhelming urge to run of to Mexico, find a beautiful senorita, buy a rifle, and build an adobe house (still thinking about it).
