The Perils of Looking For Love by John B Keane, Ireland 1968

[@thelasttruegael6517]

Enchanting storyteller the likes of which will never be seen again.

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

John Brendan Keane & Phil Paris Lynott were rare ones, the greatest storytellers of all times. Come back just for a few days HB & Phil, tell us more of your stores

On the contrary, there is an unending supply of great Irish story tellers.

@@BoulderCreekSteve I'm sorry but as a Irishman who has lived here my whole life, the death is the art of seanchaí is pronounced and obvious to both scholars of the area and the general public. Yes, the Irish can still tell a good story but the skillset is far inferior than that of old where it is was observed in many pubs across the country and most communities had at least one dedicated man/woman to the cause. The new generations don't care for it or see the value of it and considering it is passed down orally by observing a master, one generational break in the chain means the end of it and that is what has happened.

@@jamesbradshaw3389 How did you make a similar comparison between John B. Keane and Phil Lynott. Phil Lynott was a Dublin music rock legend, singer, and brilliant electric guitar player, who fronted the rock band, Thin Lizzy. John B. Keane from Listowel, Co. Kerry was a playwright, a gifted storyteller, and publican. John B. Keane could be more appropriately compared to late Brian Friel, whereas Phil Lynott could more appropriately be compared Barry Devlin of Horselips. Your choice, I am only wondering.

One of the greatest storytellers of all time, This man and Phil Lynott could tell you the best stories that you ever heard, from way back in time, from a while ago, from now and into the future.

Just goes to show, people were sods regardless of which generation they were born into … poor bloke, hope he did eventually find love.

[@ogstopper]

That could have been my Limerick-born father or uncles talking!!! "advert izmunts" "Shtand there one second" "A big blacktorun schtick ....." Wonderful!!!

[@joenavanodo3780]

A more apt ending might go something like…”Hould on there now, I was only coddin ya,” the middle aged woman cried out when she saw the package on the man with no pants.

[@martingrefen7792]

And,l don't get the point ????

[@annehebert510]

Looking for love was a very dangerous pastime in Ireland. The moral of the story was "don't even think about it".
