November 30, 20232 yr Devastating news. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-67546785 (As you'd probably expect given my drinking habits) I'm a huge Pogues fan. Red Roses for Me and Rum, Sodomy and the Lash are two of my favourite albums ever. What a f**king blow. They'll take you from this dump you're in and stick you in a box Then they'll take you to Cloughprior and shove you in the ground But you'll stick your head back out and shout "We'll have another round" Rest in peace. I'll be raising many a glass tonight.
November 30, 20232 yr Very sad news. Rest in Peace Shane. May there be streams of whisky flowing to welcome you.
November 30, 20232 yr As I had seen all the posts on social media recently and how frail he looked, this news wasn't unexpected (like Terry Hall was last year), but still very sad. RIP Shane. Edited November 30, 20232 yr by Nibs
November 30, 20232 yr RIP Shane, such a talented song writer Amazed he made 65 to be brutally honest, but still sad
December 1, 20232 yr Went to see the Pogues back in the day at Brixton academy yet he was ill and the front man from the clash stood in. This is an exceptional anti-war song - And the band played Walzting Matilda.
