Great show tonight, Rod Stewart singing Grace and emotional re 1916 and even name checking internment , so poignant given the Bloody Sunday fiasco this week.
Though revisionists and apologists try to underestimate the historical significance of 1916 and the anglo-Irish war, this was an extremely proud moment in our history as a nation , it's ironic that it was  emotionally recognised even by a knighted cockney tonight, fair play Rod.
The parents of the 1916 generation survived the famine, and at that time there was an environment which quite frankly had enough of imperialist bullying. They stood up to an empire and history showed that the British , as always in these circumstances, didn't play by the rules . That same ( we've had enough) mentality engendered the civil rights movement of 50 years ago, and we see now 50 years later that the British still are not playing by the rules, they've ignored the GFA, they're still manipulating and dodging a bullet in Bloody Sunday . Irish history has shown that things happen in cycles I've no doubt that Ireland will once again say enough is enough ! Time for the end game , united ireland and finally wave goodbye to Britain's ignominious involvemrment in this country .
What's the plan then for the 1 million or so British people in Ulster?

They are welcome to stay in Ireland if they wish.

There'll be no change for those who live in the Cavan/Dpnegal/Monaghan part of it anyway.
The 800k in the other 6 Cos. - check the GFA. The entitlement to British, Irish or both citizenships/ pasdports/nationalities remains.
Mind you if the Scots go Independent first....???
Davy's given us a dream to cling to
We're going to bring home the SAM

Well he is in his 70s.

He still plays football.

No flies round you.

Enjoyed the LLS last night (channel hopping tbh) but hit it perfect timing when Rod was on. Jasus complaining about his voice...he was put on the spot a bit, no warm up or his usual band and live. What did u expect?.

I can swim a little but i can't fly an inch

Oh looks like I upset all the Celtic fans. ;D
He murdered a classic song. Might have been better not singing it at all.

There's no need to excuse  how you happened upon Rod on the LLS  :) There are fellahs here who watch the LLS avidly, week after week  and come on here whining after each episode. You'd think their mood would be lighter, probably not smart enough to subtly negotiate a bit of quality nookie time as compensation for sitting with her throughout the show.

Rod got real emotional when presented with the poetry book. Amazing to think with all his fame and wealth, that it's something like that which seemed to really mean a lot.

Just out of interest, does Rod have any links with Ireland?

Irish heart.

What's fame and wealth got to do with it?
