![Omar N. Bradley quote: "We know more about war than we know about peace, more about..."](/pic/58585/600x316/quotation-omar-n-bradley-we-know-more-about-war-than-we-know-about-peace.jpg)
I live on an island called Ireland where most of the music is shite. I grew up listening to "Danny Boy"; I grew up hating Danny Boy, and all his siblings and his granny. "The pipes, the pipes are caw-haw-hawing." Anything with pipes or fiddles or even - forgive me, Paul - banjos, I detested. Songs of loss, of love, of going across the sea; songs of defiance and rebellion - I vomited on all of them.
Roddy Doyle
