Globe, Flaherty: It's Spelled I-Pod

City Councilor Michael F. Flaherty Jr got the coolest endorsement yet in Boston's 2009 Mayoral race: Ken Casey of the Dropkick Murphys. Casey sings for Boston's leading local band and, said he hopes Flaherty can "bring people together," which he says is a goal of the band. Casey said Flaherty shares "working-class values" with the Dropkick Murphys. Sounds good so far, right? Well, according to the Globe, Flaherty's campaign got the name of one of the band's signature songs wrong. They referred to "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" as "Ship It Up to Boston," which is a mistake not even a pink-hat wearing Red Sox fan would ever make lest you risk the wrath of Jonathan Papelbon. The Globe's Scott Helman tried to help by suggesting someone "ship some Dropkick Murphys albums" to Flaherty. We know what he meant. He's right. But, in 2009, sending a physical copy of the music is, politely, uncommon. The kids these days download the rock music off of the Internets.
