Joe Dolan - International Super Spy or Red Peril? The 30 Year Old News

G2 - Ireland's Secret Service, kept a file on Joe Dolan's nefarious touring activities in Moscow "at the height of the cold war".

The 30 year rule unleashes all kinds of surprises. I haven't had time to read any more of the secrets of the past unleashed in the UK and Ireland under the 30 Year Rule, but I'm starting this thread for anyone who wants to discuss them.

This has come as no surprise to the more vigilant among us who have scrutinized the late Mr. Dolanov's Marxist outpourings.

In 'Lady Laura' he emotes his disillusion with the Capitolist detritis,

"You've taken the sunshine
And changed it to rain
Then opened my heart
And filled it with pain"

before giong on to express his devilish revenge yearnings for the free market in 'Crazy women',

"But come tonight I'll make you pay
As I'm a man I know the way
I know the rules and how to play"

And when all those middle age wimmin were relieving themselves of their undergarmets in his honour, Joe proclaims his loyalty to his new political dictum

"But I'm changed, rearranged, I'm enlightened and how
you have caught me, you have taught me and I'm different now"

And his disgusting devotion to his new 'love' is exposed in the lyrics of this tawdry wordsmith

"Take me and break me and close all your windows and doors
Shut me off, cut me off, make me an island, I'm yours"

Although isolationist at first glance, on a deeper, a more distusbing level, the true expansionist nature of totalitarian regimes so beloved of the 'Anti-Tzar of Mullingar' is revealed.

We all know what has to be done

Thankyou for that, SeathrúnCeitinn.

Are yre near the bottom of that bottle of buckies yet 905? Ever try it with vodka?

Feck no, woulld you sully the beauty of Buckie with that Russian potatoe waste? (I'm aboot four fifths of the way through it; ach, six sevenths.). What I mean is: don't be givin' me ideas. What has this to do with an tuasal O'Dolan?

Surely the last of the Catholic Devish crowd? At least that's what my sozzled generation associated O'Dolan, showbands and the 'anthem at the end of the night' with. Come to thinkm of it, his and the showband (curse Foster and the other one. Infidels!)'s heyday was that of the commie's too. Were they really part of the reds under the bed movement?

'Nuff siad

Well that's me convinced. Damn them and their subliminal messages.

As the oul wan says in the Butcher Boy "the things them communists get up to..."

Don't talk to me...

Talk to Kevin Myers though, The guff he comes up with, defending the McCarthites, saying 'well look at what the Soviets used to get up to, rooting out spies. We couldn't have that in the free world, eh what?'
