Phil Lynott's 20th anniversary was back in January. To those that did not know, the man or his music, specifically Thin Lizzy, he was and is a legend.
He was taken from us tragically young, victim of his own indulgence you might say, like so many in that art. He left us with wonderful memories.
Thin Lizzy(imho) was the greatest Irish band ever! - "What about U2?"- what about them? Hype is the modus operandi of that Industry as it always have been. Some managers have been brilliantly exploitative of that fact!
But if you don't believe me about "Lizzy", have a look yourself here:

The boys are doing Jailbreak, Gary Moore looking er, a wee bit bloated but is he the world's greatest guitarist? Some say he is, I'd love to hear somebody better!
Anyway back to Phil....
His Mother told Billy Connolly this tale:
Somebody asked Phil "What was it like to be Black & Irish?
" a bit like a pint of Guinness!"- Phil retorted!
Gone but not forgotten!
