More terribly sad news, RIP Shane.
...I'm making lists of all the people I love,
and all the cunts that should fuck off...

Bless that guy- my favourite Christmas song and what a life well lived - one of your true punks 
She was poetry in a world that was still learning the alphabet....

Sad news. Some great albums. That Nips album is great. Such a musician and a great character

Re: Rip Shane Mgowan
An actual poet, erudite, respected and seemed to live the life he wanted to. Hats off to you Shane 
Slante!
I remember seeing the Pogues at the Barrowland, Rum tour l think, and it was mental, 2000 pished up people and Shane was the drunkest one out the lot
RIP

Oh, I read something recently that suggested he wasn't well, that's a pity. Documentary on BBC2 at 23:15 tonight.

Re: Rip Shane Mgowan
What was the other documentary from late 80s where he walks into the recording studio with a plastic carrier bag of booze? Ain't seen that one for years

Re: Rip Shane Mgowan
The most varied crowd lve ever seen at a gig, in 40 odd years of gig going; oldies, youngsters, all ages, punks, goths, jazzy beatnik types, football neds, folkies, the spread of gig going punters from A to Zee 
All pished, all singing along
