A celebration of the life and work of Gabriel Rosenstock‘D’fhéadfá a rá go raibh níos mó ná Gabriel Rosenstock amháin ann. Uair amháin, d’fhiafraigh mé de Ghabriel cén próiseas a bhí aige agus é ag tabhairt faoi Ghaeilge a chur ar liricí le Bob Dylan. ’Próiseas?’ a d’fhreagair sé, ‘níl aon phróiseas ann, seachas na púcaí i mo cheann!’ Más rud é go raibh púcaí i gceann Ghabriel, púcaí na cruinne (ní as Éirinn amháin) a bhí i gceist, iad líofa in achan teanga. Taobh istigh de chloigeann Ghabriel, mhair mórfhilí ar nós Matsuo Bashō, Rabindranath Tagore, Günter Grass, Lí Hè, agus na céadta eile, iad uilig beo arís faoi chló Gaelach. Ach taobh amuigh de na filí sin, mhair roinnt pearsantachtaí in anam Ghabriel. An leasainm a bhí ag a mháthair air na ‘The Wild Man of Borneo’, agus ghlac sé leis an ainm sin le fonn; cheap sé gur ‘onóir’ a bhí ann – agus ‘cuid de m’fhéiniúlacht feasta bheadh ann’.’
