‘Alas Babylon’ didn’t strike me as Irish. But Happy St. Paddy’s Day to you as well.
First thing, in the USA, we were the recipients of a huge wave of Irish immigrants in the 19th Century, so on every Saint Paddy’s Day, we’re ALL Irish!
Secondly, me real ancestry does include a large Irish contingent, from them very same 19th Century boats, starvin’ as they were from the potato crop failure.
