Rip Shane Mcgowan

He seems to have been a man who burned the candle at both ends.

Rum, Sodomy And The Lash a fantastic album RIP Shane.

One of those songwriters whose work was almost poetry. One of the best. Sad, but not unexpected news. RIP Shane. Hope they have whisky in heaven.

can't say the pogues did anything for me musically, but sad another musician has left this mortal coil and still young.

I am temporarily closing this thread whilst I remove all the irrelevant, insensitive and plain nasty posts about Shane's nationality - grow up and have some respect, ynnafymmi.

[Mozz71]

Well said AnOtherMod. I have no idea why it matters to them so much. 

[sandyRoe]

A bit of s*it stirring from one of the usual suspects.

Great, I shan't bother trying to read it anymore.  Makes no sense now with so many comments missing.

You aren't missing anything

A few.months back there was a photo of Shane in a newspaper.  He was in a hospital bed and looked so very ill.

It really didn't look like him - he had teeth!

I won't say RIP - it doesn't seem like it would be his idea of fun!

Saw the Pogues play Finsbury Park. Possibly saw them at other concerts cant remember now. Fairytail of New York is well down by list of my favourite Pogues songs but it is the one they will play on the News.
