Danny was born to an Irish mother right from the Irish Republic. His father was from Ireland and Danny was born in Northern England. Nothing against the Irish, my grandfather was born in County Cork, but to English parents. He may as well hang us for our role in the great famine of the 1840's, while he is at it.

I Like Billy Joel of America, singing "We didn't start the fire". Naming historic and iconic figures in America's history. Billy seems to be saying please do not blame his generation. A good idea, Danny seems to miss this obvious fact. As in "Don't blame me governor, I wasn't even born then" (Chuckle).
