<p>[QUOTE=&quot;akeady, post: 8142659, member: 83175&quot;]I bought a Waterboys double CD album just before Christmas and was going to post a song from it - &quot;Postcard from the Celtic Dreamtime&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; When I looked on YouTube to see what videos were available, I saw that the official band video features an aerial flyby of Dun Aengus on the Aran Islands.&nbsp;&nbsp; Which is interesting, as the other time I featured the Waterboys on this thread, I included a photo&#039; of this fort with &quot;Don&#039;t Bang The Drum&quot;, an 80s song from the group.</p><p><br /></p><p>YouTube is a trap for me - the video ended and segued into &quot;Long Strange Golden Road&quot;, which is certainly the best Waterboys song since the 1980s.&nbsp;&nbsp; Here&#039;s a live version of that from Glastonbury <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]8XsxWaA7_wQ[/MEDIA]</p><p><br /></p><p>With lyrics including:</p><p><br /></p><p><i><b>&quot;She was Aphrodite, Helen, Thetis,</b></i></p><p><i><b>Eve among the satyrs</b></i></p><p><i><b>She was Venus in a v-neck sweater</b></i></p><p><i><b>She was all that ever mattered&quot;</b></i></p><p><br /></p><p>there&#039;s plenty of scope for classical coins to include!</p><p><br /></p><p>I like to think that if Venus is wearing a V-neck sweater here, just it&#039;s off the flan.</p><p><br /></p><p>Moneyer: Licinius Crassus</p><p>Obv.: S.
