Sad but not surprised.

Shane MacGowan, Pogues Lead Singer and Raspy Voice of Irish Punk Rock, Dead at 65

If I should fall from grace with God Where no doctor can relieve me
If I'm buried in the sod But the angels won't receive me
Let me go, boys, let me go, boys
Let me go down in the mud, where the rivers all run dry

I have named the dogs next door "STFU."

I was helping out at a Mean Fiddler in the 80s.
The Pogues arrived at about midday.....due to perform at 9.00 pm.
Started drinking from the get-go ......I didn't think they'd be corpus mentus by 5.00.
Set their gear sporadically between rounds.
They were fab and funny bunch of guys.....and played a f☆cking Blistering and memorable set at 9.oo.
Shane .....what a legend.
Respect and r.i.p. and thanx and a raised glass to you and yours, you Wild Rover.

As soon as I heard that news, I immediately went to my iPhone to play "Fairytale Of New York".

An aside to this:

When I was at the arena where I frequent for hockey games, it donned on me that I had to add that song to my Christmas compilation in my iTunes library.

I went to add it, and it was already there.

WHEW!

RIP Shane McGowan.

Ohhhhh...ffffffffffff......fudge.

Only I didn't say "fudge", I said "BEEEEEEEEEP!"
