Notes:

This is Bobby Padavick’s second appearance on the podcast, in which we finally discuss the legacy and influence of Thin Lizzy.

Here’s a nice piece reflecting on the influence of Phil Lynott, in which Telegraph writer Phil McCormick describes him as having “something unique, an otherness, an alien mystique, that sets him apart. Tall, black, elegant, always beautifully dressed, he was almost impossibly cool when, really, it was just not considered cool to be Irish.”
