St. Patrick’s Day Bar Guide

By Garret Schuelke
Western Herald

In the 36-second Flogging Molly song, “The Wrong Company”, vocalist Dave King sings about a bad drinking experience with Satan while stuck in a prison cell – “I only drink to be merry but unfortunately/I’m in the wrong prison cell and the wrong company.”
