The day Christy died, I decided not to repost this podcast. I went for a podcast based on a celebratory chat we had about music. But things have changed. I am now reposting this podcast because Dave Fanning, an Irish DJ, seems to have suggested on RTE radio that Christy may have been lying about the link between rape at a young age and drug addiction later in life. It would have been better had Fanning remained silent. Here Christy Dignam tells me the truth, a truth I would never contest, about the black hole in his soul.
