Happy Ireland Day

It's St. Patrick's Day!  A day originally intended to celebrate the patron saint of Ireland and Irish Christianity.  Now we drink beer and take drunk pictures and drunk text and drunk dial and drunk drunk drunk.

Hey, did you know St. Patrick's Day is a provincial holiday in Newfoundland (and, by extension, Labrador)?  I didn't.  Now I do.  Enjoy your day off of work, Newfie friends!  Your, uh, Saturday off of work.

Keep it real, y'all.  While enjoying your Guinness or your Kilkenny or your Smithwicks or your Harp or your Baileys or your Shamrock Shake or your anything but Corona, listen to this incomplete list of Irish rock 'n' rollaz.
