Re: Shane MacGowan
Surprised he lasted to 65, tbh. Fairytale of New York is probably the Christmas song I hate the most.
RIP anyway.

If you get all wobbly-lipped about the opinion of Internet strangers, maybe it's time to take a bath with the toaster as you'll never amount to sh1t anyway.
Re: Shane MacGowan
Frankly astonished that he lasted this long, at least he missed the annual fairytale of new york discourse this year.
I mostly like the image of the Pogues more than the actual music but he wrote some great tunes.

An absolute unit
Re: Shane MacGowan
That reads like those two statements are linked.
RIP Shane anyway.

Re: Shane MacGowan
So, we know what is likely to be Christmas no.1 this year then. I saw some pictures of him looking pretty ill a week or two ago so it's not a massive surprise, but good on him for making 65.
Re: Shane MacGowan
I still remember being dragged to a Pogues concert by my dad when I was a kid. RIP
Re: Shane MacGowan
Yep me too...
RIP though

Re: Shane MacGowan
I know he's been very unwell for a while, but genuinely surprised he made it this far.
RIP and thanks for the tunes.

Re: Shane MacGowan
I like Fairytale of New York.
I know it's been overplayed, but I still enjoy a singalong to it. Oh the shame.

Re: Shane MacGowan
Anyway, RIP, probably squeezed a lot into those years.
Re: Shane MacGowan
RIP Shane, I always liked the song, simply for being a good tune and memories of Christmas drunken singalongs. He always seemed to be a mess, even when he was a lot younger.
Had exactly that thought today. While I was at Abbey Road studios. Recording a Christmas song

I’d like The Krackpotts to be Christmas no.1. Nobody knows who they are of course but Kunt is promoting themGavster wrote: ↑Thu Nov 30, 2023 9:30 pm RIP Shane, I always liked the song, simply for being a good tune and memories of Christmas drunken singalongs.

Re: Shane MacGowan
From:MacGowan became one of these drinkers from a youthful age. As he later recalled, “I was drinking stout aged five, I used to get two bottles of Guinness a night. If anyone questioned [my family] about it they would say, ‘If you give him enough when they’re young, they won’t go overboard with it later on’.”

The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on
