I find too many parallels in "Fairy Tale of New York" to be able to listen to it comfortably.

Adam Stemple, Jane Yolen's son, sang it at Boskone in February. I'd never heard it before; he didn't introduce it by name; it passed through my head and left no apparent impression until yesterday, when I realized the line the boys of the NYPD choir were singing "Galway Bay" was stuck in my head and I had no idea what it was from. I looked it up.

You are, of course, someone.
