    thank you ...when we formed the Gay Liberation Front in 1969 on day three of the Stonewall REBELLION some of us wanted to make revolution in our lifetime (me) but many who came that night simply wanted to hold the hand of their date/lover/comrade in public .or simply wanted to marry the same sex person they loved.... and now that simple part of revolution has taken part in Ireland ... thank you

    What a magnificent song ! The melody is awesome and the lyrics are sheer poetry ! I immediately downloaded it from iTunes. I'm even thinking of studying the song with my fourteen year-old pupils ! I do hope the Irish love it too and vote yes on May 23rd ! From now on, I will keep an eye on Jack's forthcoming releases. Congratulation on a wonderful song ! A French fan

      +jackorockful I've been there...a Catholic boy in Liverpool in the early 60s.Hell fire and brimstone...so different now. And rightly so. Wonderful lines in this song. ''Ease up on the mincing.'' Making up the girlfriends who didn't exist. I'm too old now. Born to early. Just my bloody luck.Ha ha. You are a very talented writer/performer.

    Well done Jack fantastic to see you on the Late Late Show. I love the song the lyrics are so poignant and descriptive. Great to hear you mention the Chaise Lounge too. I'm getting one for my own house. My uncle has had one for years and always plays the piano for me when I sit on it in his place to help me make decisions when things aren't going right!
