The poem below by Dermot Bolger, is entitled “I.M. Rory Gallagher”. The subject, is the legendary blues and rock guitarist Rory Gallagher who died in London in 1995.
I.M. Rory Gallagher
There came a time on those summer nights
When a free house had been found,
And a cheap stereo rigged with strobe lights
That froze each moment in your mind.
You just knew when the crowd had waned
And the wasters had long gone
That soon the wised-up boys who remained
Would put Rory Gallagher on.
I.M. Rory Gallagher
There came a time on those summer nights
When a free house had been found,
And a cheap stereo rigged with strobe lights
That froze each moment in your mind.
You just knew when the crowd had waned
And the wasters had long gone
That soon the wised-up boys who remained
Would put Rory Gallagher on.
