#BAD REPUTATION THIN LIZZY LYRICS HOW TO#

Growing up black in Dublin proved relatively free of racist difficulties, according to Lynott, though presumably life in a Catholic working-class neighborhood raised by a single mother- Lynott's Brazilian father deserted his son at age four-provided trials enough. (Readers also found poetic sensibility in books of Lynott's lyrics that were published later.) As for Lynott's band, it would have to wait six years to chart an album-a record aptly named Fighting, given Thin Lizzy's struggles to find stable personnel and success. The label 'poet' stems from Lynott's early attempts at verse, which received some serious attention in Ireland. Phil Lynott, described in the Encyclopedia of Pop, Rock & Soul as a 'brash black musician-poet from Dublin,' founded Thin Lizzy in 1969 along with drummer and childhood buddy Brian Downey. Members included Eric Bell (born September 3, 1947, in Belfast, Northern Ireland left band), guitar Brian Downey (born January 27, 1951, in Dublin, Ireland), drums Scott Gorham (born March 17, 1951, in Santa Monica, CA replaced Bell), guitar Phil Lynott (born August 20, 1951, in Dublin died of heart failure resulting from acute blood poisioning and pneumonia, Janumarried Caroline Crowther, 1980 children: Sarah, Cathleen), vocals, bass, songwriter Brian Robertson (born September 12, 1956, in Glasgow, Scotland replaced Bell left band, 1978), guitar.
