01FRENCHY12 ::: Favorites um not ot sure they probably exsisted in catholic scotland as well but the sisters of mercy the order that operated these laundries also ran "asylums" in the USA 07-09-29 21:37:05 __________________________________________________
jbreenw ::: Favorites Sorry to ask a stupid question, but as somebody born in 1991, its not something I know much about. Were the laundries a uniquely Irish phenomenon? 07-09-29 20:54:45 __________________________________________________
saucyfrog ::: Favorites The film made my blood boil! Then i read more about these places and i was just outraged! The way they were only closed for economic reasons ad the fact the govt keeps making rubbish excuses for why they should not receive any compensation. I think credit must go out to people like Joni, Peter Mullen and yourself who posted this video otherwise these women would be overlooked. I have set up a group on facebook called Justice for magdalenes! 07-09-23 19:41:17 __________________________________________________

Koppse ::: Favorites This is a sad song indeed...... Makes me kind of sick that the last laundry closed in 1996:( 07-09-22 17:03:35 __________________________________________________
lancitos ::: Favorites This is one of my favorite Joni songs.This album won Joni two grammies,and this song surely helped.The sadness and passion are touching,and the lyrics are remarkable. The movie came after the song,and it's a powerful statement,too. This song's been edited so Joni's wail near the end is missing -it's the songs' high point. 07-09-22 02:50:34 __________________________________________________
