when i'm tired of acca dacca, i let my neighbours listen to thin lizzy. i sang 'the boys are back in town' at an open mic last night for a giggle. had the entire pub singing along - all nine patrons. i recently learned that phil lynott's mum used to manage a (then) hotel on the next street from me, here in manchester - the song is purportedly about a gang who used to frequent it. the building still stands. pop fact!
