Roddy Doyle Quote

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.
