    I like how he refuses to be drawn into the Edinburgh/Glasgow thing. All round a very wise man. We need more of his kind in our world.

    I'm so sorry he feels so bad about the 80s. If it wasn't for the 80s, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to hear Mike Scott's lyrics and music. I'm 63, I'm thinking of taking up the guitar, just so I can play a meaningful to me John Prine song, but if I get to the point where I can play that song, I want to tackle a couple of the Waterboys songs. I feel I want to try to get into those emotions expressed as well. Thank you Mike!

      That caught my eye. You can teach an old dog new tricks! My son has inspired me to pick up guitar again . I was never any good but this time I can just enjoy it for what it is.....something to amuse myself with. The other thing is the stuff you can get now...check out lag guitars and their hyvibe model. Good luck!

      @@allosaurusfragilis7782 , thanks for the encouragement. I need to remind myself, I don't have all the "time" to do things I seem to think I do, between work, spouse, house, etc. I am keeping my goals to one song at a time, when I feel I can make the time to play. I have a teacher lined up, and an old Silvertone guitar I picked up that looks cool, so, it will happen.

      That's a load of rubbish.. we use it as a shortcut to explain cultural differences - a bit lazy, I'll admit, and probably not comprehensible to those outside this island - but it actually has nothing to do with religion or superiority.. it's like Greeks v Romans or introvert/ extrovert.

      Scott is Scottish. The band have had various memebers through the years. Anto Thistlewaite English. Steve Wickham Irish. Karl Wallinger Welsh. The band, not including all of that 4, at one stage lived in Spiddal in Connemara where they recorded some of Fisherman's Blues. For me This is the Sea, a classic album, is by a long way their greatest work.
