But she has no time at all for the rock star who made Ballymun notorious in song.
“Bono’s well publicised and, in my view, ignorant remark of how it was dangerous to walk in Ballymun at night did not help the area’s reputation one little bit, “ she says.
“Bono never lived in Ballymun. And yet website after website says that is where he hails from.”
“How can any one possibly confuse Ballymun with Glasnevin?”
She is also scathing about the song Running To Stand Still.
“Perhaps it gave him a sort of
street-cred
to associate himself with the estate he could see from his bedroom window in nice, safe, respectable Cedarwood Road in Glasnevin”
Lynn feels the song did enormous damage to the tenants’ morale.
“It doesn’t tkae a lot of imagination to picture an unemployed person, living alone in a flat in Ballymun, listening to that song and agreeing with what their hero was saying, “ she points out.

Nah Caroline, I begrudge Bono, I pity Gavin Friday. Regardless of whatever small artistic merit he has, that clip just shows him as a wanker

Typical Irish begrudgers, always so keen on slagging their own. Even if you haven’t seen the person’s work, listened to their albums, their film scores, or seen their shows. Narrowminded, insular shower of cunts.

That chip on your shoulder? So 20th century.

nice one for that link Brian- theres loadsa cool pics there of ballymun. See Gavin Fridays real name - Fionan Hanvey!! You can see him now gettin of the bus in ballymun, cakkin himself, looking feverishly around until someone shows him the error of his ways ‘your not in glasnevin now boyo’ and boom! milk bottle (remember them) in the face, or maybe a jigsaw. Him crying avant garde punk tears, little five year old me snickering from on high, pissing on his half shaved prune head.
