I feel nauseous when I see people taking photos at James Joyce statues being so stupidly proud of an author they've never read and a culture they simply do not understand at all. I feel nauseous and angry when I see tourists going to Ireland without noticing the underlying sadness of those seemingly happy and certainly drunk Irishmen. Do not take photos in front of historical monuments if you do not understand the meaning of "famine" in Ireland, the need for a revolution... Have you read anything at all written in Ireland in the early 1910s? Have you ever listened to an old Irishman's stories?
Can you hear the way a violin cries in Irish music?
And the way it decides to laugh instead?
What r ye fuckin sayin.
