I was thinking of Lynot last night - we were watching A KNIGHT'S TALE,
and the scene where they arrive in London for the World Championships
are played over "The Boys are Back in Town."
My favorite TL memory, though, was from back in 1985 when I was working
at Z-93 in Winston-Salem, NC (during the brief 6-month period where it
was the greatest rock station in the world). Our afternoon guy, Rob
Leonard, gets a call on the request line. Gruff, rough-sounding redneck
guy on the other end. He says something to the effect of "hey, this is
John, and we're listening out here at the county farm. I'm scheduled to
be released in a couple days. I was hoping you'd play me some Thin
Lizzy. I believe you know which song."
Rob, without hesitation, cued up "Jailbreak."

...it's a lonesome thing to be passing small towns with the
lights shining sideways when the night is down, or going in
strange places with a dog nosing before you and a dog nosing
behind, or drawn to the cities where you'd hear a voice
kissing and talking deep love in every shadow of the ditch,
and you passing on with an empty, hungry stomach failing
from your heart.
