They made a hybrid rose for him called the black rose which is something that is only because his mother in Ireland really didn't realise how much of an affect his music had had on the world until she went to his grave and noticed that people were leaving little tokens of respect.

And one of them was a leading Botanist who is known for making hybrids to a very exacting type of soil and she had taken a small amount from the graveyard and designed this hybrid Rose to be able to thrive in this specific area.

Even though there was already a few different black rose's, she had given this one it's Latin name which is a play on words called 'Lynottus'.

I've got so much musical knowledge that I like to share it sometimes.

Aye, that is a great piece touching rock history. Well written.

Of course I remember Thin Lizzy, that is part of my teen youth when I started tackling with rock etc. Phil was a legend...

“The Boys are Back in Town” as I understand it is related to Lynott’s mother Philomena’s time in Manchester and business connections with the Quality Street Gang. You can read about it in Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_Street_Gang).
