* I saw this band in 1978 when they opened for Styx. My best friend and I went to that show specifically to see Thin Lizzy…

Thin Lizzy had some great songs but I was just never a fan of Phil’s voice. I wish I would have seen them live as they always seemed so energetic.

Also, I was surprised to see his statue in Dublin. That voice certainly didn’t sound Irish to me

Looking forward to a terrific day here in beautiful DuPage county, sunny with a high of 80. Flowers are blooming, trees are leafing out. Life is good.

Just bought another used vinyl by Thin Lizzy….gone way too young!

Lurker, check out “Emerald” or “Whisky in a Jar”–as Irish as it gets.

Rich- big fan of your Friday play us out videos, and def fan of random musical interludes as well. I don’t want to muddy the importance of the Friday cut, but I wouldn’t mind a daily dose of Rich’s musical tastes.

Gorgeous day on the south side. Mid-70s by early afternoon and the sun is out.

Fun weekend - went to A Clay Sermon, Theaster Gates’ 12-hour fundraiser for the Rebuild Foundation. I was going to stay for only a couple of hours; 5 ½ hours later I finally called it a night. That guy has incredible energy.
