Friday Night 80s

Worried about punishment cheesers or wedgies? TFK would lead you to believe that nordies are very backward

I think music was as much about identity as it was about music. Kids now seem to be a bit more open minded about music and plenty more besides.
Nordies backward? If you take the religious fundamentalists out of the equation I wouldn’t see any difference. Even the fundamentalism is mostly for show…they’re mental but they ain’t fun

Religion is generally all for show, the holier than thou mentality while excusing horrendous abuse.
The truly religious are generally the most humble, there’s a lovely tradition of it in rural Ireland but it’s dying out. I’m pretty sure its origins are not Christian.

Don’t leave us hanging!!!

Only kidding mate,
I went to a tough school in Cork city but there was never any hang up about Erasure or Jimmy Somerville or anything else, I remember theInnocents doing the rounds (getting taped) when I was in early secondary school years

Pantheism is the only religion that stands up to scrutiny, reverence for the divine in nature which requires no dogma.
