Shane McGowan RIP (P8)

Always seemed to be leathered ?
Anyone see the Pogues at the International (Plymouth Grove) in the early 80's ?
The lighting rigging collapsed due to the huge crowd bouncing ?
Luckily, don't think anyone was injured and the gig continued ?
Saw the Pogues much later about ten years ago - he could barely get on the stage and was soon ushered off with another band member taking on the vocals.
Came across as a sad, wasted talent...
 
I'm still amazed his most famous composition is played so widely, when it contains

You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last

Pretty tame compared to rap.
