Greetings,
In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever <https://www.furious.com/perfect/index1222.html>, you'll find (among other things):
THE VIRGIN PRUNES
Irish performance art, not goth..., by Brian F. Cousins
"It is hard to describe the Dublin and Ireland of the late '70's/early '80's that produced the Virgin Prunes and which they reacted so forcefully against. This was a society with a stagnant economy, national low self-esteem and still dominated by the morality and control of the Catholic Church. The Prunes as they were always called, were the complete antithesis of the pervading mores of "dear old dirty Dublin." In many ways, Ireland had yet to transform itself in the modern, international, fully functioning democracy it is today and was still as provincial and compromised as James Joyce had described 80 years previously."
We're always looking for good writers and/or ideas so let us know if you have anything to share.
See you online,
Jason
