You referred to my having personal problems as fact. Then you admitted the insinuation was totally baseless. On what possible grounds do you think you can reclaim the moral high ground here? Neither have you clarified who you are or what your relationship to the band is. Happy Christmas, your arse. No, hang on a second. You referred to my having personal problems as fact.

I can assure you that we have never met. I don't know you personally at all. Any comments I have made were based on your writing. I apologise if comments relating to substance abuse were unfounded. They were based on my reading of your work, an impression i had. It was wrong of me to make such allusions. Mea Culpa. I don't particularly want to continue with this thread and won't trouble you with any more comments. I hope, simply, that you might reflect a little more before publishing your work. You are undoubtedly a talented writer and I wish you and your family a happy Christmas. All the best Hi Eoin,
It’s not necessary to be so aggressive in tone. I can assure you that we have never met. I don’t know you personally at all.

Any comments I have made were based on your writing. I apologise if comments relating to substance abuse were unfounded. They were based on my reading of your work, an impression i had. It was wrong of me to make such allusions. Mea Culpa.

I don’t particularly want to continue with this thread and won’t trouble you with any more comments.

I hope, simply, that you might reflect a little more before publishing your work. You are undoubtedly a talented writer and I wish you and your family a happy Christmas.
All the best

You're convinced I had drink taken when I posted that comment. Actually I've been on a bit of a health kick lately and haven't drank anything stronger than Lucozade since mid September. Anyone who knows me would know that. I've written about it extensively on this site and elsewhere. I did privately tell a (now ex) member of the band that I wrote the post after a few jars. That was a lie though - I just felt bad for tarring this guy (who I genuinely like) with the same brush as Mick. So your big scoop there is total bullshit. The line about me having personal problems, substance abuse etc., meanwhile, is a complete fiction. Criticise me, fair enough. But everything I said was 100% true. And there was a lot I could have said besides that I left out. You on the other hand are just making shit up. Moreover... accusing me of alcohol and substance abuse problems? Seriously!? Your irony detectors are failing you here friend. I don't even smoke dope. Physician - heal thyself! 2. This stuff about Paddies hating on other Paddies etc. is also clearly not something you made up on the spur of the moment. It sounds more like a well worn theory regularly trundled out to explain away why the Dublin music scene has never really embraced Republic of Loose. Actually, the reason the Dublin music scene has never really embraced Republic of Loose is because Republic of Loose are bad motherfuckers who did things their own way, never kissed up to anyone and never wanted any part of any bullshit scene. The irony - which again you would appreciate if you were only capable of it - is that that's precisely what I loved about the band down through the years. This stuff about me being some embittered Paddy etc. is horseshit. I was staying in the Beverly Hilton that week with a hundred dollar a day tab paid by Paramount. Why the hell would I be embittered? I always loved the band. Still do. The review that offended Mick, let me point out yet again, was a four star review. And I'm genuinely sorry to hear about Brez and Deco quitting. Now I tried to contact you by email to clarify things there, but you either wouldn't reply or left a fake email address. So I'll say it here. I thought Mick making a big deal about that pink jacket joke was not just extraordinarily childish but also hilariously funny, considering the degree of tact he typically uses in his dealings with people. But I was never hurt or offended by it. Only entertained. And I suspected (correctly it transpired) that others - particularly those who've been badly treated by him over the years - would find it entertaining too. But I was working, I could have cared less. Neither does my attitude have anything to do with colonialism. (Suffering Jesus, it's hard to know which is the more laughable - that particular theory or the fact that you call yourself Foucault...) Foucault,

I’m going to assume you’re connected to the band for two reasons.

Paddies are Irish people who have massive insecurities and self loathing, they hate to see another Irish person do anything different or behave in a cocky self assured manner- this kind of psychosis is prevalent among many races that have suffered under colonialism or whose ancestors were slaves, the "uppity nigger" syndrome. Eoin shows all the classic symptoms. As for the drinking I may be wrong but his style strikes me as no more than a drunken rant- very childish, overly personal and emotional. However these are his problems and i hope he can overcome them. As far as slagging him off, the only reason i decided to make my comments was that he chose to publish an overtly personal, unprovoked public attack. Such rants should be reserved for the pub with "the lads". I don't see the necessity in publishing them. I'm sure he could have written a very witty, constructive, critical piece on the band but he didn't. I'm sorry and apologise if it came across that I was slagging Eoin about his personal problems or his substance abuse.I don't wish to add to his discomfort. That was not my intention. Rather, I take issue with the content and style of his writing. I would hope in the future he could make his prose a little more critical, humourous,stylish and reflective. I wish him all the best.

Aint that what they say Eoin! A few drinks to get to the essence of what must be expressed! Well have another drink Eoin if that's what you need.Join the other hack paddies at the bar slagging off some homegrown pop star (sure who does he think he is?) with his gay(ie pink) jacket and his arrogant notions(ie originality). Another lonely sexless night in front of your computer. After a few cans the anger and self loathing starts to mount. You were at a party and no one would talk to you (wonder why), you're an uneducated music critic who resorts to personal diatribe(wonder why), you personally attack complete strangers in your blog (wonder why). You believe you have formed meaningful personal relationships with people based on an interview (wonder why).Needless, senseless, personal attacks on musicians based on your ill informed, snapshot, knowledge of them (wonder why). Why Eoin why? I think you know the answer. Have another drink and print this if you dare hack paddy. IN VINO VERITAS! Aint that what they say Eoin!
