Planxty ? ? At Shannon Airport
NSFW Skirmish: RUNAWAY (@corinnecurcio)Liner Notes
Lyrics
She'd been told that Planxty had reformed and were launching a tour of Irish airports. Where they would only play to Arrivals, never to Departures. On the grounds that the band didn't want to condone the view that Irish Folk was on the way out. She'd been told that Planxty's first gig would be at Shannon Airport in County Clare. So she headed there. !Imagine, then, her dishevelment when Planxty didn't turn up and she was subjected to the intercom blasting out _Runaway _ by Del Shannon. Which confirmed her view that Symbolism wasn't all it was cracked up to be. In a matter of a few wah-wah-wah-wah wonderfucks, she hopped on a plane to the Costa DEL Sol, where she might just runaway for good. And confirm her view that Symbolism could be all it's cracked up to be.

Hopes are dashed and people respond in unexpected ways. But the details are very different this time, and maybe the details matter. Nice surreal story.
This is great. Admission - I had to look up Planxty, but once I did, this all fell into place and I really enjoy the direction you took the prompt.
This has such a wonderfully whimsical feel to it. The line about not playing to Departures really made me smile.
