NYC Pub Owner Bans `Danny Boy' in March

NEW YORK (AP) -- It's depressing, it's not usually sung in Ireland for St. Patrick's Day, and its lyrics were written by an Englishman who never set foot on Irish soil.

Those are only some of the reasons why a Manhattan pub owner is banning the song "Danny Boy" for the entire month of March.

I can't say much for the words, but that is one of the funnest tunes to play on guitar. Listen to the Eric Clapton version.

I'm half Irish but I can't stand the music.

My younger brother Daniel died earlier this year...now imagine hearing 'Danny Boy' being played at a reception following a jewish funeral...not a dry eye in the house...

The song crosses all barriers.
