The Bronx Voice of Irish Musical Rebellion:
The Saint Valentine's Day -
Revolutionary Sweetheart Radio Show !
Not as "Lovey-Dovey" as most Saint Valentine's Day shows, but, hey its Radio Rebel Gael, so be sure that there's gonna be plenty of rowdy while revolutionary Fenian Boom Boom, and I made sure to make plenty of room for lots of :
Irish Rebel, Celtic Rock and Paddy Punk and lots of tunes that are just pure craic :
It's also important to point out the merit behind the idea of Saint Valentine's Day, a holiday that most people of Irish descent should be able to relate to easier than, say, Christmas, which is a purely commercial bullshit holiday in the USA and without any Irish roots at all, whereas Saint Valentine's Day is not even one tenth as commercial and is even based on a Saint who was a rebel priest who went against the grain, went against the Vatican in order to give young couples more liberties to marry, during a time when people of different social classes, races or religions were forbidded by both the State and the Church to marry.....
For RADIO REBEL GAEL, its easy to appreciate the true meaning of Saint Valentines Day, which includes the love between boyfriend and girlfriend, wife and husband etc, but extends beyond that to the love you have for your homeland, your brothers and sisters in struggle, your comrades in arms, your family, your neighborhood, your community and of course -
Your Love for Freedom !
In the immortal words of revolutionary hero and martyr Ernesto Che Guevara Lynch :
"The true revolutionary is guided by feelings of love."
Slainte agus saol agat !
