It's the same old theme since 1916

It seems I tend to post music videos on Friday, so here is today's. The Cranberries, Zombie from 1994 (I think). A seminal rock song with a poignant message that not everyone in Northern Ireland was interested in the nonsense. There is something eerily accurate about the lyrics, "and the violence causes silence. We must be mistaken"

  3. PS I don't think there's a sexier accent than the Northern Irish.
