KIRWAN: Much Has Changed But Feeling Reassured (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On account of a death in my family, I recently had occasion to make two trips to Ireland in consecutive months, something I hadnât done in a long time. On most visits Iâm accompanied by a couple of busloads of lively North Americans discovering their roots, so itâs like diving off the deep end into a crash course on the history, politics, music and literature of a country I no longer live in. On my recent visits, because I was sharing one of lifeâs rituals with family and friends, I beca
KIRWAN: Underground and On the Air (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Soon after I arrived in New York City I became a subway person. The price, speed, and anonymity suited me. And this was the wild and wooly 70s when things were somewhat dicey below ground. But even then I realized that if you wanted to see the city and be squired around by someone who knew the joint, then the taxi was your man. I admired taxi-drivers, for despite the fact that I dwelt in the existential junky kingdom of Alphabet City, I never had the courage to drive a yellow cab. And believe me
KIRWAN: Back With a Bang (opens the original)
Read excerpt
So the big S-word is making its unruly rounds again. The big C word â Communism - is now so retro only our president uses it.

KIRWAN: High Time for a Rockabilly Revival (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Village Pub was a temple of tolerance that perched precariously near the top of Bainbridge Avenue. It was owned by John Flynn, who welcomed everyone, especially errant musicians who might lash a bit of life into a weekend evening. Tolerant it might have been, but it was still one of the great slagging houses in The Bronx. No one was immune. And so it came to pass that, after delivering an improvised late night set of Rock ‘n’ Roll classics, I made my way into the closet-sized men’s room and
KIRWAN: Surf's Up.....In Connecticut (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Living in the bustle of New York City you sometimes forget that thereâs so much beautiful beachfront mere miles from your door. Iâve often written about Jersey Shore boardwalk towns, and the miles of sparkling Long Island sand that stretch out to The Memory Motel in Montauk. Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel have so ably captured that soulful real estate in their songs. But what of Connecticut? Its seaside towns have a magic all their own, aye and poet laureates too, though hardly as successf
