I indeed stop my music as I was sharing a good moment with my friends, and play the second part of the album as I was goin back home. For those who know, the second part is not as energic as the begining, there's some balads and sad songs and I was staggering on these sweet last songs on my way back And every damn time, as I was staggering, I remembered that line from "A Pair of Brown Eyes" when he said "Sometimes crawling, sometimes walking".

Lived my whole life in Alabama, saw The Pogues on this tour in Birmingham. Shane was one of the two drunkest performers I ever saw, I guess tied with the first time I saw Paul Westerberg with The Replacements, and yet they both completely delivered great performances. I'm surprised he made it this long. Anyway, an amazing songwriter. Hit every emotional note. This remains one of my all-time favorite albums. I think The Broad Majestic Shannon is my absolute favorite. I would be fine if they played that when I was dying myself, but I doubt anyone will think to do it.

We will be crying for Shane for sure. Here's to hoping the Father will buy him a whiskey and ask him for song. Christ himself will most certainly smile and ask Shane to take the stage in Heaven. We all got a part to fill, and Shane's was that of a musician and performer. Rip old angel.😓

We were in the pubs on a Friday Saturday night playing this on the video music machine. It was absolute gold and still is 30 years later.

Rest in peace Shane MacGowan; you are remembered well on this St. Patty's Day!
