Headline below reminded me of the iconic Tim Finnegan and the great work of literature he inspired: Link
"Kid's birthday party turns into brawl" Link

Perhaps pondering on the power of Irish wiskey to revivify Tim Finnegan and on the word for whiskey in the old language which literally means water of life, the fantastically gifted James Joyce was inspired to turn a pleasant little song into a great epic representing the birth, death, and ressurection of the Universe.
