He's loving angels instead

We'll never forget sitting in a pub in Tralee last century and watching, awestruck, as 28 grown Irish lads burst into song, complete with group hugs and lasses flashing pictures of the impromptu drunken karaoke.

"Don't you know Robbie Williams?" asked one, as incredulous as OMS was awestruck.

"Um, no," the Ol' Man said. "But I'm wearing a Dave Matthews shirt."

"Dumb Yankee," he said.

"Stupid, um, Irish guy with gelled hair that won't hit America until 2001," OMS replied.

"Fancy another pint, lad?"

"Why not. But tell me again who this Robbie Williams is?"

Fast forward six years, and Mr. Matthews is doing something that people are pretending they don't like, even though they *quietly* wear their "Could I Have Been?" t-shirts while cleaning their apartments, all the while bellowing "Jimi Thing" and always mixing up mother with brother at the key "If you could keep me floating" line.

And Mr. Williams is supporting Moss.

Good for both, we s'pose.
