Now it’s all over and we wipe away our tears and turn to face a new day for Scotland and the rest of the world, let’s take a break from Scotch Whiskey, Golf, Haggis, and making fun of the Scotcish accent, ach aye, I dannae can… and take a look at Scottish musicians as listed by Wikipedia. Since, you know, they coulda been independent and figured the mean ol English prigs you know is better than… well better than ruling themselves.
The problem is, Scotland shoulda gone for it when the oil was freely flowing, it is too bloody late now.
I would have voted for independence myself, just to screw with the insufferable David cameron. but that’s just me. And any way, that’s not why we are here… We are here to look at Scottish Musicians….
A personal favorite here? Well, not Simple Minds that’s for sure. May we agree upon… the Rezillos or Altered Images? Chvches.
Anyway, the Loch Lomond is one of the most beautiful places on earth and I wish em all the best.
Thanks everybody for voting, now let’s hope you got it right:
