Have never seen anything like that before. And, yeah, the comments were really good and really funny. Pretty cool.

Usually, I ignore Youtube music threads, cuz they’re mostly just people being hysterically judgmental about people they don’t know. But this was different.

. . .

My people, the Celts, once dominated most of Europe, and then, little by little, were driven back to smaller bases, in France, Portugal, Wales, and Ireland, especially. But then the Vikings started their raiding, and terrorized them for centuries, burning up most of their written records . . . which some scholars say amounted to a mass destruction of European culture overall. Cuz, Dark Ages.

It’s interesting to me that once feared warriors were in turn overwhelmed by even more fearsome enemies . . . for a host of reasons, most of them boiling down to “We can’t be awesome savage beasts forever. It’s too hard! I like my comfy shoes and my warm hearth and I’m allergic to severed heads now!!”

You can still hear the influence of the Vikings in Celtic music, though. The diffusion of culture interests me greatly too.

Btw, Netflix has an excellent series about the Vikings/Britain in the days of Alfred the Great: The Last Kingdom. Well worth watching.
