the wolf tones and christy moore
repeats of the dubliners till the cows come home. no music in the pubs and a que for the phone. milk wars and dunnes stores kilnamanagh was the only big shopping centre a trip to town was a whole day out cause the buses didnt go fast, signing on was where you met your friends, and god help you if you got a girl pregnant. no condoms and a hobby was painting a house for a few bob with some paint you found in the shed. christmas meant you got one present most likely a tin of usa biscuts. and the coal man needed to be paid early. yellow pack beer was our dutch gold. then this came out

Billy Bragg - A New England (Live)

A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer
