i don't really have too much of an opinion regarding Enya. to be honest she is sort of a joke, i think, among my peers. i can't even say that i admire her talent becasue i just amn't too familiar with her work. i think Orinoco Flow is catchy, but that's about it! Maire Brennan, now that's another issue..... SHE played a free "music and chat" session at my college recently, and i had somehow convinced all of my friends that this would be cool (every intention of asking her why she chose to cover BYT and than also BSN with Paul whats his name). but i came down with a virus and couldnt go:-( was housebound for ten days!!! i saw an interview with Enya on teh Pat Kenny show when her album came out a few years ago. she wasn't a great guest. very purse lipped and unfriendly. Cher would have been a far better guest, eh? ;-) and while i'm rambling about IRish singers i may as well go on... Sinead O Connor walked into the bar where i work recently. i am kind of a fan, in teh "my friend is totally obsessed and so now i know - and like- a lot of her music" way. she looked awful, very dirty and totally out of it. i didnt think she did drugs, not after that debacle with Shane McGowan last year or the year before, but that day she looked strung out. although that is probably unfair to say. i did nt see Sinead O Connor, i saw a dirty looking young woman whom i assumed would be asked to leave. my boss amde some comment along the lines of "does anyone want confession" before i recognised her. and she had decided at that point not to stay and walked out teh door. and one more story... Brian Kennedy, he covered ACOY and so many people on this list seemed relatively unaware of who he is- well he is a celeb here anyway, also came into our bar and ordered a sandwich and tea. i know, who knew that famous people had to eat?? anyway, teh man that makes that sandwiches is a big fan of Kennedys and asked Ciaran (one of our junior managers) to ask for an autograph. so he did. and Brian Kennedy told him that he's "scrumptious". strange!! anyhow, i'm finally getting to my point. philip said of an enya song: >Then someone realised that the melody was >identical to a TV commercial for gas home heating which featured 3 dancing >bears, So much for all that celtic mysticism. :) Is this the fifty fifty cash back ad? if so, or even if not i suppose, this gave the biggest laugh i've had in weeks!! thanks, lol....still chuckling!
