The singer Dido has just released her new album, Long Way Home, which she co-wrote with producer Jon Brion.
There is a song called ' Let's Do the Things We Normally Do' and the lyrics include a few lines from Barleycorn's The Men Behind The Wire.
"Armoured cars and tanks and guns, came to take away our sons. But every man must stand behind, the men behind the wire."
The song was written by the Northern Irish band describing raids by the British soldiers (The good guys) against cocksucking Fenian terrorists.
Culture Minister Gregory Campbell, of the DUP, (Protestant) has asked the artist, or her management, to clarify her position so the public and her fans know where she stands on the issue.
Does she like Fenian cocksucking and anal sex or quick Protestant hump and fumble man on top and nothing else?
Barry McElduff of Sinn Féin (a Catholic) said it as all no big deal, of course he would. If Van Morrison put in a few versus of the Sash he'd be yapping about it.
U2 made it big exploiting The Troubles with Bloody Sunday so why shouldn't she? And since when did Northern Ireland have culture?

I'd promote her Al-Bum. I just hope I don't catch CD.
imo...the irish should be left to the irish and not the rantings of some musician who most probably has never lived through the shit the irish have to deal with...but that's just me...
Ah sure it's all shite comes out one end or the other.
What is is what you're left with, and then it was or it wasn't worth it.
You wrote that post just so you could write that comment, didn't you?
culture? bwahahahahaha you nearly had me there......
Crap, Knudsen, it's all business. Things, pictures, history - it's all available and can be used in another connection. We call it capitalism, everything is a goods, sellable and buyable. Buy a new life, sell another "hit", whatever it may be or contain, fuxk it as long as it gets sold and the doller rolls in.
New people grow up and know nothing of what was ahead.
The shitty thing is that there is no history teached.
They simply do not know about it. And there are no goddamfucking teachers!
The next asshole that says "excellence" gets killed by my bare hands!
old Knudsan don't be a hater.
daisy to be technical the Irish haven't lived through anything which is why U2 annoys me, now the British in Northern Ireland is another matter.
MM It is all shite but just remember 'we beat the IRA!'
MJ yes he does.
boxer what Old Knudsan does is up to him, he is witty though.
manuel with a prod in charge too, the freebies protest any bit of nudity so the culture is sure to be interesting :::yawn:::
Matt well in 1100 AD an Irish lord invited the Normans over to solve some problems and it all went doon hill from there.
