Dublin Travels Part Two
I made it through a day of Ireland and already I may have peaked my trip.
The most important part of today is obviously the music. For lunch we wandered into a pub a few blocks from Dublin’s tourist center, and while yes, the Guinness stew was excellent, the highlight was clearly the jukebox.
Over my dinner I was treated to “Bittersweet Symphony” by The Verve, “Don’t Go Away” by Oasis, U2, Stereophonics, and two tracks from The Killers. When Kelly went to the bathroom, I snuck towards the jukebox to find the last three Oasis albums, two albums from Coldplay, two from The Killers, and even The Street’s A Grand Don’t Come for Free.
Why don’t I live here again?
Even on my flight in, on Ireland’s Aer Lingus, I was overwhelmed by the radio. I wanted to sleep, but plugging in my earphones to listen to the plane’s audio countered my goal.
All heard in one half hour segment:
“Digsy’s Diner” by Oasis
The Strokes
Stereophonics
Silverchair
Stone Temple Pilots
“Weezer’s Island” in the Sun
Arctic Monkeys
Chris Cornell
I’m not even going to touch on the T-Shirts or posters that the record stores have in town. Maybe I just won’t return. Z100 is so American and passé.
I’ve tried to think it over and I guess this is just a rumor. I hate rumors that ruin private life so advise you not to believe it and leave your comments by yourself.

I think that you really can judge people by the way they comment different stuff. Some people, even expressing negative thoughts, are still polite and they respect and understand other people. Some people are not even trying to be nice, they just don’t care. I think self-confident person will always act nice, no matter what other people do
