Christy Moore is such a sellout. It makes me sick that I lauded him for years.

I have a theory that all colonized countries suffer from low self esteem/an inferiority complex... I say this not only as an Irish person, but also having worked in African countries... in the early 1990s, I attended a Ugandan play "30 Years of Bananas" by Alex Mukulu, which raised many thought-provoking questions, relevant not only to Uganda but to all previously colonized countries.

Loved the song and video.
