These two could never drink each other under the table! What a pleasure it must have been to be in the company of this pair of brilliant like minded minds, they even look like brothers! R.I.P. Legends.
With the honesty of a blues singer , Brendan rips your heart out with his voice that you know is well lubricated with a drop or three of Irish Whisky. Conquered by the English but the masters of the language are all Irish - Joyce,Behan, Elliot....add your own folks just to remind the poms how feeble their history is
Don't confuse English ppl with the British Establishment & Govts that are same world over, ie oppressors. Remember that Brendan Behan, who admired Cockney poet John Keats, said that he didn't like any cops, be they English, French......
@@nagolhayze9366 I don't know where this is coming from....the sentiment of Behan is as a Republican pointing out the brutality of the Brits in early 20th century Ireland . If you know Sean nos....he got it right in this song Look at the last line in that song you mention... living in each others shadows..

WhiskEy.
Irish and Brooklyn Irish !
Is that Jackie Gleeson with him?
That looks like Minnesota Fats !
Tis Jackie alright
Or is it Hemingway
The author should've sung that one.
Brendan shouldn’t give up his day job !
What job
Y’all that dude can’t hold a tune. It’s a heavy lyric and that little irish dude should stick to more feminine upbeat gigs and whatnot ...
Wrong..his voice couldn't be more suited to the song, it's cultural context and the sentiment behind it.
@@gerrymcgrath3706 Ok 🥴
