Billy Mitchell
From The Blanket
Sean Smyth's article Rose Tinted Culture brought to mind the following lines of Rabbie Burns - "O wad some power the giftie gie us, tae see ourselves as ithers see us". All too often we see ourselves and our experience of culture through rose tinted glasses and it does no harm for us to look at how others view us and our cultural experiences. As we grow older we tend to look back on what we feel were the halcyon days of wine and roses, forgetting that at times the wine was bitter and the roses had thorns.
