The Irish Eyes are Smiling down upon Bagwine, Ohio today.First of all, while typically, we are lucky to enjoy overcast skies and a high temp of 50 degrees on St. Paddy’s Day at best, it’s gonna be Sunny and 70 today.
Secondly, and maybe more importantly...
We found out yesterday that on Thursday July 16th, former front man of Men at Work, Colin Hay, will be performing at the Bagwine Summer Arts Festival.
I saw Men at Work along with INXS in concert in 1982. Twenty-Seven years later, I still dig Colin Hay…great voice, freaky eye, and all.
I have to work tonight, so no Hibernian-esque celebration for me. Which, being a man with the last name of Mahoney, is a bit hard to take, but…
Perhaps, when I come home tonight, Schmoop, who hails in part from the Callahan Clan, will allow me some celebratory time with her.
Maybe she will permit me to bend her over, and work my Sheleighly in, as my Blarney Stones go, “Smack, Smack, Smack” against her Irish Lass Ass.One can hope…And that my friends, would be my pot o’ gold.
Anyhoo…The times are a hoppin’ in Bagwine, O’hio today. There are a couple of Irish Pubs in town that will be O’ Rockin’.
One is called Murphy’s, and the other?
O’Connor’s.
And that lads and lasses, is where my brother Marte’ and his band will be playing tonight. They’re pretty damn O’ Good.
Although there is one problem. You know what they call themselves? The Dreamboats…
That’s my brother on the left side of the picture. Good band, bad name.My only solace about the name is that I know that when they came up with it, they were drunk and laughing maniacally.
So, to Marty-Boy and his mates…Break an O’ Leg tonight, O’ Bitches!!
With music on the mind, let’s us end our St. Paddy's Day post with a song. How about a video of me singing, “Lily the Pink”?
O’ why the Hell not. Enjoy…
And now, here's a 39 second outtake of the same video, because a Telemarketer decided to call...
Have a fun and safe St. Patrick’s Day, all.
Cheers and Slainte!!
