I've always had a fascination as to the real reason Lennon and McCartney released
'Give Ireland Back to the Irish'
'The Luck of the Irish'
'Sunday Bloody Sunday'
Those songs were never going to be chart toppers. Yet, they released them, knowing by so doing,
the songs would be banned on the airwaves and that they were going to be heavily criticised by the British Government and Media.
BUT WHY DID THEY DO IT?
Was it their Irish roots?
Was it their sense of injustice?
Or was something else at Play?
