[LomaxMcGee3]

Jeez, when I heard the words "footage taken by Pogues' fan Peter Dougherty" I thought "damn... no wonder he turned out the way he did." lol.

[LomaxMcGee3]

@LomaxMcGee3 course then I realized it was New York and that Pete woulda been a toddler at most, and any good parent would have kept a kid that young out of a Pogues' show.

3:05 - a young Adrian Edmondson.

Saw Spider Stacy and Steve Earle do Johnny Come Lately at Slims in SF. Made a huge Pogues fan out of me. I don't know that a song has been written that is more REAL than Fairytale.

It's a wonderfull song, but I find the lyrics of "Body of an American" even more facinating :)
