Happy Saint Patrick's Day!!!!!
I wish I was a DJ? (For those of you who have never heard of a DJ, it's the guy or gal who makes up a playlist of songs and plays them on the radio, along with some pleasant or snappy commentary in between. DJ's used to rule the world but that was quite a while ago.) Today would be All Irish Music Day. So I would have Sinead O'Connor, The Cranberries, Clannad, U2...I'm sure I'm leaving out 10,000 Irish groups here but you get the idea.
Today I am reminded of an interview of the (now late) actor Richard Harris. He was relating a story of how he returned to Ireland for a visit. He was stopped at a red light and was having car problems: he couldn't get his car to move; it kept dying.
The driver behind him was trapped and couldn't get around Harris' car.
After a few cycles of traffic lights, the driver behind Harris got out of his car and went over and tapped politely at Harris' window.
Harris rolled down the window. The driver asked, also politely: "Exactly which shade of bloody green are you waiting for?"
