Chindie Posted November 30, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted November 30, 2023 Kissinger's death is one of those 'open the good booze' moments. A completely irredeemably evil word removed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I figured Shane MacGowen was immortal, kinda like a 1980s version of Keef Richards. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 He has been in an awful way for some time, the great and the good have been visiting him and I think he was sent home to die. I had him on my list for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted November 30, 2023 Moderator Share Posted November 30, 2023 It's amazing that he made it to 65 I worked a fair few Pogues gigs around the time of the first three albums Don't think I ever saw him without some form of half bottle of spirits in his hand, always in a brown paper bag (American style.) I also never saw him fail to get up and do the gig which in itself was a bit of a feat, I thought he'd have been dead a long time ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want anyone coming on here and slagging off the Christmas song. Just leave it alone! Edited November 30, 2023 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
