    A good song which strips the glamour and machismo from a lot of mainstream rebel songs and tells the truth:- young men die.

    Also My only Son.(was shot in Dublin)

    The song "Oh where,oh where is our James Connolly?" also comes to mind.

    Music played a huge part in forming our nation as normal channels such as newspapers were not accessable to most people and under the control of the unionist/business class.

    I guess I'd be old school Nationalist, the idea of Irishmen coming together and putting religious differences aside for the love of Ireland is a beautiful one. What a nation we may have been if the rising of 78 had been successful.
