“…112 They often comment on how this 'Lucky Charms accent' 113 can make it difficult to communicate or understand what Gallagher is saying, particularly on the telephone. However, in other cases, Gallagher's accent is seen as 'hardly perceptible', 114 'soft' and 'charming' 115 and, occasionally, praise is given to its strength because it is considered to be part of Gallagher's 'down-to-earth image'. 116 The way that Gallagher's accent is framed in two opposing ways at the same time (i.e., both unintelligible and intelligible) show up the major flaw of stereotyping, thus serving to destabilise its power.…”

'Rory Gallagher's Leprechaun Boogie': Irish Stereotyping in the International Music Press

This paper seeks to explore the presence of Irish stereotyping in the international music press using a case study of the Irish blues rock musician Rory Gallagher. Using a dataset of 600 articles about Gallagher published between 1968 and 1998, it draws upon a combination of corpus and thematic analysis to identify frequently occurring Irish stereotypes and how they were used to describe him, embedding arguments in postcolonial theory, particularly the work of Homi K. Bhabha. The analysis identifies five major themes—the Irish as violent troublemakers; the Irish as heavy drinkers; the ‘Irish’ way of talking; the Irish as ‘dumb Paddys’; Irish folklore and traditional ways of life—highlighting the different roles into which Gallagher was unwillingly cast by the music press. These references often wrapped Irish prejudice in a cloak of fun and frivolity, which made it seem harmless and trivial. However, such disparagement humour fostered discrimination by moulding (negative) public opinion of what it meant to be Irish at a time when Anglo-Irish tensions were already high and ignored the deeply emotional impact of the Northern Irish conflict on Gallagher. It also took attention away from Gallagher’s music and, in doing so, downplayed the important contribution he made to the world of blues and rock.

“…Water-quality monitoring is only one of several activities the USGS has undertaken in the Brandywine Creek basin. Reports by USGS have been published on a wide range of topics, including general hydrology and water resources of the area (Parker and others, 1964;Miller and others, 1971); ground water (Poth, 1968;McGreevy, 1974;McGreevy andSloto, 1976 and1977); the 1971 flood (Page and Shaw, 1973); geomorphology and sediment transport of Brandywine Creek (Wolman, 1955;Guy, 1957); limnology of the basin (Lium, 1976 and1977) and streamflow (Olmsted and Hely, 1962;Hely and Olmsted, 1963). Currently (1980) the rainfall-runoff relationships of the West Branch Brandywine Creek are being modeled.…”

Data recorded from 1973 through 1978 by monitors on West Branch Brandywine Creek at Modena, East Branch Brandywine Creek below Downingtown, and Brandywine Creek at Chadds Ford were analyzed to evaluate the effectiveness of the monitors in describing water-quality conditions. The data show that the stream at Modena and below Downingtown had periods of low dissolved oxygen, and that the stream below Downingtown had a particularly severe dissolved-oxygen deficiency from May through September 1974. The pH at all three sites exceeded 9.0 at times and the pH below Downingtown occasionally dropped below 6.0. The most critical period in the basin was from March to November when pH was most likely to exceed water-quality standards and dissolved oxygen was most likely to fall below the standards. Without the monitors, the extent and magnitude of these proble~s would not have been detected.
