Shane Macgowan, the extraordinary lead singer of The Pogues has passed away aged 65. It’s a miracle to me how he survived so long ! An amazing performer and someone with a total disregard for his own health.
A unique kind of rock star.
RIP mate.

Shane lived his life his way, wrote some of the finest lyrics around but he leaves one of the greatest Xmas songs ever as his legacy, how good is that. They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old

Yep, a great musician. I think it was either Bob Harris or John Peel who described the music as ‘Orange Punk’. |

Feeling sad as he was a great musician albeit one with an enormous drink problem but apparently he started being given Guiness to drink as a child to help with an ailment. RIP Shane and think I can guess what the UK No 1 single this Christmas will be…..
