Well shit. RIP Shane McGowan

Post by Patchez »

This sucks hard. Shane was a stellar performer and an even better drinker. Gonna listen to some Pogues and hoist a few tonight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4v6aNjGFFk

Just spent some time visiting his music.
Don't worry. We're in no hurry.

'There is drinking in lots of the songs because there is drinking in life. Drinking stimulates the imagination. - Shane MacGowan
Don't know much about him, but here's a top quote.

I guess I have a new rabbit hole to go down.

I chose to see the glass twice the size it needed to be" - Pharoahe Monch, 'Broken Again'

Haven't gone back to the Pogues in a while. Really only like the first two albums. Lately I've been going back to Sick Bed of Cuchulainn, Sea Shanty, Waxie's Dargle, Boy's From County Hell, and Sally MacLennane. But my favorite is still Worms

Try If I Should Fall From Grace album. Shane really came into his own as a song writer on that album.
