dualta is right, his attitude has changed, especially that of the republican movement he once so much embraced. i still like christy and appreciate his changes but how he has denounced his old ways completely are sad. the movement is the only reason nationalists and republicans are survivng, the 60s provided it but it had to be ongoing.
Song is called "Reel in the Flickering Light" from his "Ordinary Man" album of the 80s. Probably written when he was on the booze or having a trip! Great entertainer and rightly hates people clapping along when he's singing!
This is a great song that I'm hearing for the first time. I saw a couple videos in which Christy sang with Shane MacGowan and decided to look further. Thanks for posting the videos, I'm now off to find some recordings of the man.
