I remember preparing for confirmation that year and being in a shop in Headford Road with my mother buying a confirmation outfit and this song was playing in the background… I was trying to reconcile the hypocrisy of the event to the song. Twas deep stuff for a 12 year old at the time.
I have savage clarity of that.
Fucking hell, 95 was some year, the Feile in Cork was absolutely legendary that year too
Where are we going lads? What’s it all about?
Honestly now lads, are Michael Stipe and John Malkovich the same person?
Robbie Angels
Saw REM in Lansdowne Road, I think it was the summer of 1999. But open to correction on that. Definitely the same stage that they had for this gig in Glastonbury. Really good gig.
I drank a bottle of buckfast with a load of my mates from Oranmore on the bus up. We thought we were legends. We probably were.
On at the same time as Everybody Hurts. I can’t be handling this at all at all
Pretty sure It’s all about beating Limerick and saving hurling.
Robbie never gave a fuck in fairness to him.
Angels was a great slow set song back in the day. The women would go mad trying to find a lad to wear the face off for it. If it was the third of 3 songs and you’d been unlucky you knew your luck was about to turn
you dont know what you missed
Cowgirl?
Knebworth documentary out 7 September with a live album to follow.
It surprised me too!
