    I don't know why but listening to this makes me happy. A bunch of dudes in their fifties still going strong and living their punk dream. Oi!

    Had a stroke in 2015. Lost motor control of my right side. It took four years to make fingers start to move in the right directions, and it's not perfect still, but I can definitely give a one finger salute with my right hand!
    So, I salute you guys, right handed! :-D

      Yup.
      Started at McGreevy's with Nick and Tim.
      I got backstage and hung out in that VIP room with the rugs on the ceiling at the House of Blues. What a glorious drunken Sunday

    Dropkick Murphys - Middle Finger
    I keep my fist raised up
    Full-time against the world
    Sometimes for the family
    And sometimes for the girl
    Yeah, you’d think I’d learn my lesson
    I’m a man who’s been around
    But I could never keep
    That middle finger down
    Well I’m still hanging on
    And I think that God takes care of fools
    I’ve broke a lot of hearts, and I’ve broke a lot of rules
    Yet somehow I survived
    With a bit of dummy luck
    But I can never keep that finger from sticking up
    I could never keep, I could never keep
    I could never keep my life from burning to the ground
    You’d think I’d learn my lesson
    I’m a man who’s been around
    But I could never keep that middle finger down
    I’m a grudge-holding jerk
    Who starts feuds with a wink
    A sharp-tongued S.O.B
    Who speaks before he thinks
    I’ve learned from my losses
    And I know when I’m wrong
    Still, my life’s sadder
    Than an old country song
    I could never keep, I could never keep
    I could never keep my life from burning to the ground
    You’d think I’d learn my lesson
    I’m a man who’s been around
    But I could never keep that middle finger down
    So if you looked at my life
    If you took a little peek
    You’d say “Good Lord, let it go man..
    Just turn the other cheek”
    I don’t know how to let it go
    I just don’t know how to behave
    I was born with this affliction
    And I’ll take it to the grave
    I could never keep, I could never keep
    I could never keep my life from burning to the ground
    You’d think I’d learn my lesson
    I’m a man who’s been around
    But I could never keep that middle finger down
    I could never keep, I could never keep
    I could never keep my life from burning to the ground
    You’d think I’d learn my lesson
    I’m a man who’s been around
    But I could never keep that middle finger down
