Some people believe football is a matter of life and death. I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.
- Bill Shankly
Who the hell am I?
My name is John Kehoe.
I am 27, and work as a radio operator at Bell Lines, Bellevue, Co. Kilkenny, Rep. of Ireland.
I live, however, in sunny Tramore, the jewel of the Southern seaboard, in Co. Waterford.
I love TransGlobal Underground, Natascha Atlas, and New Order. And Throwing Muses.
And Sonic Youth.
That's it.
Oh, and Massive Attack.
and Tricky.
and soccer, and drink.
