The images of this young man, who was deliberately set on fire by right-wing opponents of the Venezuelan government, were horrific in the extreme. After the flames were dowsed, he was seen stumbling away as he was still being heckled by the lunatics who are being orchestrated by the uber-rich of Venezuela, who in turn […]
I can’t go past this one. Turn that dial right up, draw the curtains, do your mad thang…
This is a gentle, old ballad from Ireland, performed by one of the greatest groups of all. The lyrics are kinda sad yet happy at the same time. I know, I know, the contradiction pains me too.
