Thanks, I really appreciate it! I have thought about doing prints of the whole series, but up until now I really wasn't sure how to go about printing them in a quality that would hold all the detail. I'm really unsure of the quality of DA prints. Contact me at info@hendersongdi.com we can discuss the options.

The peace in Ireland is always on a razor edge, we'll see how things go in July when the Unionist marching season starts. If that passes quietly, there's some hope. I haven't heard much of the Unionist reaction to the report, but I can't believe it would be positive. Time will tell.

That was a good song. I'm not much a fan of U2 anymore. Back then, this song was a powerful statement, it still is to some degree, but rather than embrace the victims and put the blame on the people who cause the problem, the Unionist, Bono decided to attack the symptom of the disease rather than the disease itself. The Irish Republican Army was a symptom of bad government, religious discrimination, job discrimination, Housing discrimination. A Catholic in the North of Ireland could go from the cradle to the grave without ever having a job. It was no Irish Catholic need apply. When you take away basic human rights you rob people of their dignity and at that point, they are capable of almost anything. 'Northern Ireland' was a Protestant state for Protestant people and the Catholics could go to hell. The British Government and the British army maintained that system of discrimination by Unionist against Catholics and when the Catholics rebelled against it they cried foul. Fools like Bono swallowed British lies hook line and sinker.

I do have hope that a new day is dawning in Ireland and in the UK. This is an historic moment. Just like Bloody Sunday was a flash point on all that was wrong in the 6 occupied counties of Ireland, the Saville Report is a flash point on the truth. Maybe now the truth can come out on other state sponsored murders in Ireland.

Bono stole the song from John Lennon. John published the song not two months after Bloody Sunday, and 11 years later, Bono came out with a song with the same title and chorus. Not surprisingly, Bono has since made friends with Neo-Con Ex-Senator Rick Santorum and war profiteer Paul Wolfowitz on this side of the Atlantic.

That said, your mural is absolutely beautiful.

Thanks! And with that:

"Sunday Bloody Sunday"

Well it was Sunday
bloody Sunday
When they shot the people there
The cries of thirteen martyrs
Filled the free Derry air.
Is there any one among you
Dare to blame it on the kids?
Not a soldier boy was
bleeding

When they nailed the
coffin lids!

Sunday bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday's the day!

You claim to be majority
Well you know that it's a lie
You're really a minority
Oh this sweet emerald isle.
When Stormont bans
our marchers

They've got a lot to learn
Internment is no answer
It's those mother's turn
to burn!

Sunday bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday's the day!

You Anglo pigs and Scotties
Sent to colonize the north
You wave your bloody
Union Jacks
And you know what it's worth!
How dare you hold on to ransom
A people proud and free
Keep Ireland for the Irish
Put the english back to sea!

Sunday bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday's the day!

Yes it's always bloody Sunday
In the concentration camps
Keep Falls Road free forever
From the bloody english hands

Repatriate to britain
All of you who call it home
Leave Ireland to the Irish
Not for London or for Rome!

Sunday bloody sunday
Bloody sunday's the day!

-JOHN LENNON

At first glance I thought it might have been from a trip to Ireland, nice Don.
