England 1998
A friend and I spent five weeks traipsing about Britain and Ireland after we graduated from Uni in 1998. Searching for some details on a Vindaloo lyric, I discovered these notes by someone who spend the year of 1998 in England. His notes about the 1998 football songs are nicely detailed. I have a CD containing many of them: the "Official Album of the 1998 World Cup." My friend and I were at an independent hostel in rural Scotland with some energized Scots (as well as Aussies, Kiwis, and us Americans) when Scotland lost. In London, we met up with a friend we'd made in Scotland and visited her at a pub on her South London Uni campus to watch England's defeat. It was a rousing good game though and we all sang Vindaloo.
