DropKick Murphys: Barroom Hero:

https://youtu.be/wpIVk2AY3sw

this was the original dropkick murphy's in 1997... a bit different from the later inception of the band that became more popular. the singer here, a boston fire-fighter, moved on to a band called "the street-dogs." I knew the original drummer for the dropkick's too (seen in the video). my friend's older brother was in a band, and when they played live they would often be without a drummer and he always filled in for them. super-nice guy.

bar-room hero:
"..because this arrogant fool breaks every rule/ it will be nothing but pride that kills him,
did he listen no he won't/ that's all she wrote/ he'll be dead before the daylight shines
but the thoughts and prayers, of a MILLION STRONG/ Might keep this fool from dying."

RIP, Al Jarreau.
