Jiggernaut -- Two Minutes Silence for the Dead

Jiggernaut -- Two Minutes Silence for the Dead

Music and Lyrics by Brian McNeill

In true Celtic fashion Jiggernaut does get a bit Political, as well they should. We are a people with a long proud History. The reason is clear, we are here today solely because our great Ancestors took a stand to defend us. The type of person that will not take a stand to defend their own Child, are the type of person that went extinct, and it is just as well, anything that is not worth defending is not worth having. The Children of the Future will be the Children who are defended Today!

The Pen is mightier than the Sword, and the Song is mightier than the Speech!

To any one out there that is so wishy-washy that they will not take a stand, and have better things to do than defend their own Children, I hear there is still some land in France available.

Jiggernaut plays the North Texas Irish Festival, (Dallas, Texas) which kicks off the year about a week before St. Patrick's Day, and they also play the Scottish Festival and Highland Games (Arlington, Texas) where this was recorded this year, 2008.

I am certain that Jiggernaut will continue to fight for what is True and Just, as our Ancestors did, and our Descendants will!

CelticSouthland -- you do understand that this song (by Brian McNeill -- did you also go to his sets over the weekend?) is about the evils of the armaments manufacturing industry, right?

[CelticSouthland]

Brian McNeil is one of my favorite musicians, I will add him to the credits.

He was on the stage with John Taylor, as a guest along with Ed Miller and some others, so you can see him on "Give the Fiddler a Dram".

I have been filming for years, but never learned how to post a video, as I never had time off to learn until now, so I have years worth of good videos, but it takes a lot of time to find a good song on a long recording, convert the file edit the file convert the file again, post.

[CelticSouthland]

I would say that guns don't kill people, Communists, Criminals, and Governments kill people.

The best ways to defend against Communists, Criminals, and Governments, is with Freedom of Speech and a good Firearm, just like our Amended Constitution says!

[CelticSouthland]

How important were there Rights to our Founding Fathers?

1st Amendment - Speech shall not be infringed!

2nd Amendment - The Right to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed!

Looks like our Founding Fathers understood how import these Rights are, after they had to shake off a Tyrant themselves!

@David14Lane Even though this is a year old I gotta say, right on brother, and kudos for remembering the Slavs.

[David14Lane]

No more Brothers Wars!

No more will Celts, Gauls, Norse, German, or Slav kill their own Brothers for a Government or a Banker!

[LoveandBetterDays]

He is adorable.

[vickita1961]

Very cool! I just adore him. :-)

"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."

[LoveandBetterDays]

Vickita, I got some video of Brian over the weekend, including him doing this particular number. When I talk to him, I'll ask if he minds my posting it.

This is, btw, a powerful performance by Jiggernaut. I love that they're doing this song. (I love Brian McNeill like nobody's business.)
