Most people including me wife don´t know and don´t understand what this is all about and why I have tears in me eyes when I listen to these songs sometimes. Those were the days, with the pubs, the pints, the pogues and all that- man, i got fuckin old...
Same opinion... he seems pretty undrunk here. Last time I saw him he really had big troubles hitting the tones and standing tall before the mic, his eyes were rolling white, he forgot the lyrics and his voice sounded like that of a very very very very old man singing under the shower. Or so.
Anyone that seen the Pogues reunion shows over the past couple of years will know that Shane is on great form (OK, it's all relative!!). Great clip. Great Man. Great Band. 'Nuff said.
Right, mrstimpy, I don't disagree, it's genious and totally original and authentic, prefer that over most overproduced and technically over-perfectly sung stuff. And when he sings "Ahw... daddy didn't like the clothes I wear, Ahw... daddy didn't like my hair, everything just fits together. Love the man and how he never made fame get between him and the music, and the bottle.
and they say Seamus Heany is ireland's greatest poet......
