REAL LIFE BEARING DOWN LIKE MACK TRUCK
Real life whipping our ass–your EDSBS Radio cheat sheet will follow shortly.
In the meantime, the Dropkick Murphys do “For Boston,” the Boston College fight song. (Courtesy: Bill.) For our money, it’s the second best use of bagpipes in a song evah–the first evah following the Murphys after the jump.

I’ve still got to go with Dropkicks over Pogues and Flogging Molly. There’s no better song to rattle the old guy trying to hustle your money in a “friendly” pool game than to put “For Boston” and “Cadence to Arms” on the jukebox (the pipes do a better job than death metal in that sense). They are becoming a bit of a frat boy fetish though.

Dropkick was good about 7 years ago, before they got the new lead singer and did everything they could to sound like the Pogues. Plus, way too many jackass frat boys love listening to them, drinking shitty Irish beer and pretending they know what the hell it means to be working class.
Best use of bagpipes ever: Toxic Narcotic - Beer is the shower.

I cast a vote for Flogging Molly over Dropkick Murphys. Also, of course, Pogues.

What Dave? You don’t like Auburn and mocked us by calling us “warchickens”? To hell with YOU!!!! I hope you and your whole damn family get shingles! I bet you didn’t even go to Bama, you only have two semesters of Shelton State under your belt, and probably have DAVE stamped on the back of said belt! My soul burns with RRRAAGGEEE towards you and your kin!
