Nothing like lunching at a Celtic-themed pub on St Pat's to remind me that--to the extant this ethnic heritage bullshit means a thing--I take more after our dull German Protestant ancestors than our dissipated Irish Catholic ones.

Thankfully, no, he did not play "Amazing Grace". But he did play "Danny Boy", so it's a Pyrrhic victory at best.
