  The RSM's Pace Stick & Swagger Sticks
In the Marine Corps, the swagger stick came into vogue in the latter part of the 19th century, and was a required article of uniform until WWI.
The first actual presentation of the swagger stick was made in 1569 when Charles IX of France made his brother Henry a Generalissimo and gave him one to signify his appointment.
Most famous of these changes was the banishing of the swagger stick to a place on the closet shelf next to the "Sam Browne" belt.

It may seem like a slightly boastful title, but Swagger is anything but an attitude-laden in-your-face rip, and all the better for it as well.
By the time the Aeroplanes decided to take a chance on major-label existence, their combination of poetic ramalama and neo-guitar jangle and shake had been well established, so Swagger was, if anything, merely a polishing of the group's form rather than any radical leap.

Finally, even though MacGowan did'nt agree with this, the Pogues stretched their boundaries musically, especially on "Hell's Ditch," where Flogging Molly's songs all sound the same, and two of their songs "Sentimental Johnny," and "Big Bag of Bricks," totally rip off The Pogues.
It may sound like I'm slagging Flogging Molly, but I do love "Swagger," and "Drunken Lullabies," their both great albums, but they just can't hold a candle to any of The Pogues albums.
"Swagger" was my first step intro to Flogging Molly so it holds a special place for me. I must have listened to this cd continuoiusly in my car for at least 3 weeks, which is amazing for me as I cycle cds out like clockwork.

 TWAS 505: The Best of 2005
The gene lines of mid-Eighties Rush and pre-crossover Queensrÿche seem to have died out or been driven underground in North America, where these days metal-influenced technical proficiency is always welded to brutish vocal struts, bent into careful genre irony, or relegated to Wakeman-noodly progressive-rock cult-irrelevance.
