I'm watching the oscars, and the man who introduced U2, performing a song from Gang of New York did his into and ended it with what I can only assume was irish. Did anyone catch what he said? blessings, Gillian |

Gillian I caught that too, and I was jumping out of my pants after hearing it, understanding it, and then *realizing* it was Gaelic! I too was very proud . Meg (a 6 month Gaelic novice) |
