His manor seems surprisingly modern. It's like a contemporary interview made to look 60 years old.

Brendan was very progressive in his outlook. Sadly he died very young at just 41😢

He attempted the "I was always like this" joke twice but the interviewer was too bland to recognise it

What joke is that?

Borstal Boy is a good book, but Behan was an overhyped writer.
