Count John McCormack and those hedonistic, psychedelic indie rockers.
(From Irish Independent)
A question for a future pub quiz: What have John McCormack and the Velvet Underground got in common? On the face of it, a big fat zero. Zilch with a capital 'Z'. Rien. Nowt.
After all, what could possibly unite the Westmeath tenor who sang Il Mio Tesoro and the New York gouger who rhapsodised about hisVenus In Furs? One is an aria from a Mozart opera, sung with perfect diction by an Irish Count; the other a sleazy paean to sado-masochistic sex sung by a drug-addled scuzzball.
McCormack sangPanis Angelicus in front of thousands of devout Catholics at the Eucharistic Congress in the Phoenix Park; Lou Reed sang theBlack Angel's Death Song to a rabble of strung-out junkies in a dark and dingy New York club. The former's educational background was Marist; the latter's hedonist.
One was held in particularly high esteem by bishops and men of the cloth and John McCormack had his following too.
