I'm not sure how many of the Irish artists above are familiar names across The Pond, but this group filmed the video below in Los Angeles and played 40 shows at The Sphere in Las Vegas in 2023/24. U2 - Desire

Sorry, Hobie. No Irish women today. Mic Christopher was actually born in New York, but his parents were Irish and they moved back to Dublin when he was a toddler, so I think he counts as Irish. Sadly, following a concert in the Netherlands in 2001, Mic was found unconscious after apparently falling on some stairs. He never regained consciousness and died at the age of 32. Mic Christopher - Heyday

General Questions about The Dukes of Hazzard Series
It's the same building, and it appeared many times. If you check out the Hazzard Square thread, it was located on French Street behind the court house. I labeled it #25, although the building shown on the aerial view is the replacement constructed between 1997 and 2000. It was the Hazzard Impound Yard in 'The Sound of Music - Hazzard Style' - see here, and if you scroll down that page you can see it as Boss' car lot from 'Share and Share Alike'. Scroll down further and you can see it as the Apex Rent-A-Truck office from 'Coy Meets Girls'. In 'The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion!' TV movie the building was Red Perkins' garage (run by his daughter, Mavis) - see here. The building was replaced sometime before 'The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood'.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Hobie. Sadly, Dolores O'Riordan died from drowning due to alcohol intoxication in 2018 - she was 46. To show her range. here's a powerful song she wrote in response to the IRA's bombing in Warrington, England in 1993 which killed two children. Since Dolores' death, the song has become a stadium anthem, starting in her hometown of Limerick. I'm expecting this to be at least top five in the countdown of 100 greatest Irish songs I mentioned above. The Cranberries - Zombie

I've been reminded just how many great Irish artists there are, so I have a few more tracks which I'll spread out over the next few days. Next, another song inspired by unrequited teenage love. Singer Dolores O'Riordan wrote this about her first kiss at a nightclub when she was 18. She fell in love, but then saw the man of her dreams kiss someone else a couple of weeks later. I was amazed to see that this video has had over half a billion views and over 90k comments. The Cranberries - Linger

Another Irish track. This was written by one of the band members when he had a teenage crush on a girl a year or two older. He was too shy to talk to her, so one day when he saw her being picked by her boyfriend, he made up this backstory about the boyfriend being an abusive cheater. The 4 Of Us - Mary

The radio station I listen to is compiling a list of their listeners' favorite 100 songs by Irish artists for a countdown finishing on St Patrick's Day. For a small island, there are a lot to choose from! Here's one of my favorites. I hadn't heard it before I moved here, so I don't know how well known it is outside Ireland.

I was about to say that those were the only two Semisonic songs I knew, then this one came on as was coming home tonight. 'Secret Smile' is a bit slower than the last two.
