Popular singer/songwriter Paddy Casey disappears |

Paddy Casey, the popular Dublin based singer/songwriter, has disappeared.
Friend and colleague Glen Hansard was on hand to talk to The Naked Galwegian
about the shocking news.
"Yeah, it's very unusual. We're pretty sure it wasn't a kidnapping or anything. It's just that Paddy has been getting smaller and smaller over the past number of years." The Naked Galwegian agrees that Mr. Casey did appear to be shrinking somewhat. Mr. Hansard added that in order to make the video for "Whatever Gets You Through" Paddy had to sit on a specially ordered seat so that he could see over the steering wheel of the car used in the video. "Bear in mind too, the car was also a specially constructed 1:3 scale model and they had to employ special midget actors to sit in beside him." Paddy Casey was criticised by much of the mainstream press recently for missing a big press conference for the launch of his last album. Many journalists later apologised when it transpired that Paddy had attended the conference, but had been trapped inside a podium stand that concert organisers had unwittingly placed on top of him. "He'll be missed, but remember we'll need somebody to keep his music alive and I, Glen Hansard, am just the right manner of Rock God to do it." Glen's renditions of "Everybody's Got to Feel Needed Sometime" have gone down a treat at Frame's ceremonies, or gigs as they are known to non-believers in The Hansard. The Hansard Youth has taken well to memorising these new hymns of obedience to The Glen. In a separate (but related) development, The Naked Galwegian has gotten wind of a rumour that Casey may not have merely shrunk out of sight but may have been kidnapped by The Hansard Youth and sold into sexual slavery in Eastern Europe. A music industry insider, speaking on condition of strict anonymity, said: "I find the whole thing sordid. I couldn't place myself inside the mind of someone who would do that to Paddy Casey and let David Kitt off scot-free. That's sick." |
 Anyone can be a midget
