^ What a great pub song. This band actually manages to sing in a British accent. Unlike the Beatles, Stones. Queen etc. You can actually be a one hit wonder and have a shard of a legacy.
Freedom is not a state. It is an act. It is not some enchanted garden perched high on a distant plateau.. Freedom is a continuous action we all must take, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society.-John Lewis

Always loved this one hit wonder done by an Irish pub band.

Dexy’s Mignight Runners weren’t an Irish pub band. They were English - from Birmingham.
And they had many other hits including Geno, Because of You and There, There My Dear.
And also an appearance on one of my favorite all time shows..........

I bet Eileen understood the true meaning of the song at the Dexy’s Midnight Runners back stage party.

Col. Bruce Hampton & The Aquarium Rescue Unit
His death was a weird one, possibly fitting
"On May 1, 2017, Hampton was honored by his friends at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia for his 70th birthday. Dubbed Hampton 70: A Celebration of Col. Bruce Hampton, it was an all-star concert featuring Widespread Panic members John Bell, Dave Schools, Duane Trucks, and Jimmy Herring; blues guitarist Tinsley Ellis; Peter Buck of R.E.M; steel guitarist Darick Campbell; saxophone player Karl Denson... etc
During the encore performance of the show, Hampton suffered a massive heart attack and collapsed on stage Onlookers and his fellow musicians initially either did not notice that Hampton had collapsed, or thought it was a ruse. As a result, Hampton lay face down at Niederauer's feet, his left arm draped over a stage monitor, as Niederauer soloed on "Turn On Your Love Light". The band played for several minutes before Hampton was taken offstage; he died shortly thereafter at Emory University Hospital Midtown in Atlanta, Georgia"
