I'm so happy to be having this conversation. My ex was Irish-American on one side of his family and hated the music. I drove him mad with my love of it. He called it "songs of the drunken potato rebellion." But I adore it so much. Sometimes I feel like I should be ashamed of my love for the CLancy Brothers, who I saw a gazillion times as a child, because they really were a part of a certain kitschy 70s culture, but I still listen to them ALL THE TIME and it is still TOTALLY AWESOME.
