We were in our seats for an hour before the gig. And to call someone a screeching zombie is just rude. So what if she doesn't sing like Jeff Buckley. Its not the sad bit from the O.C. its an interpretation of the song. If you want note perfect carbon copies Kim Il Jung does great concerts I hear. And has better broadband access too. Opinions are like arse holes. Everyone has one. You must have been at a different concert to me. We were in our seats for an hour before the gig.

In Jim’s post below he defends Mary Margaret O’Hara from those ignorant critics who likened her performance of Halleluiah during the rock star packed tribute bash Came For Far For Beauty to that of a ‘fucking screeching zombie‘ and howled that her ‘caterwauling’ ruined the fine song and (it was inferred) insulted both Leonard Cohen and late Jeff Buckley, RIP.

Lou Reed was raving about Friday's arrangement of Who By Fire. I guess he's an artist's artist. Also... did anyone stop to think who the only Irish singer invited to perform at this event was? Yeah, that would be Gavin. The Irish are notorious for not appreciating their own, and it's a damn shame. Gavin Friday got a standing ovation from all the other artists at the aftershow party.

Sinéad: I suffered through all of her "singing". I wish I had been asleep. Cloning is an option I haven't ruled out but apart from meeting the EU next week and the IrelandOffline AGM, I should be able to relax and just concentrate on work and college, oh and starting work on the Blog Awards. Anthony: I just didn't feel right being nominated. Perhaps next year. *shrug* Brian: Pah! Tom: No way. I'll eventually have to move to Dublin, probably in 5-7 years time but until then I'll enjoy paradise. Branedy: Appreciated. After the hotel fuckup I'm getting a free stay next time though. Gerry: Fair enough Fiona: I know I know. I'm being good this week though! Kevin: He's just a bad busker with a bono-complex. Frank: You're right. Am now subscribed to the blog. Very beardy!

As for the dedication of 'Everybody Knows'... was it my imagination or did Gavin Friday say 'the bloody cross on cavalry'...? and if so was it a mistake or a reference to Bertie saying 'Relevations' instead of 'relevations'...? Ah bollocks, I didn’t spot you there… see now if you weren’t running around so much and were reading my blog instead you’d have known about the beard.. :D

The dedication of Everybody Knows to Bertie Ahern was, if I may say so, inappropriate. On Gavin Friday, I wholeheartedly agree.

I didn't go to the concert last week and can't comment on her performance there. But to add to what Sinéad said, "Miss America" is a gorgeous album, one of my all-time favourites.
