Disgraceand is a production of Double Elvis.

This is a story about a rock star's rock star and his band.

A band that made Ireland proud.

A band that makes me want to drive fast and break things.

A band that some of you, for some reason, think I hate, but I don't. A band born belly up in a bar filled with bad, bad men. A band who never really broke in America the way

they should have. A band named Thin Lizzie. A band that made great music. Unlike that music I played for you at the top of the show,

that wasn't great music.

That was a preset loop from my Melotron called Roll Me Over and Do What Now, MK, 2.

I played you that loop because I can't afford the rights to December 1963.

Oh, what a night, by the four seasons. And why would I

play you that specific slice of Jersey Boys' cheese, could I afford it? Because that was the number

one song in America on March 26, 1976, and that was the day that Thin Lizzie released their

sixth studio album, Jailbreak,

featuring the hit single The Boys are Back in Town, a song that changed everything for them,

for better and for worse.

On this special St. Patrick's Day episode, a rock star, bad, bad men,

and the pride of Ireland,

Thin Lizzie.

I'm Jake Brennan,

and this is Disgraceland.
