Shane MacGowan RIP

[Mark Bolam]

Sad day, but what a life.

 

’Won’t see another one….’

 

RIP Shane.

 

Thanks for the memories.

Christ - last I read he was on the mend.  Poor sod

[Mark Bolam]

I hoped so, but then saw this pic when he was discharged from hospital.

I think he just wanted to die at home.

 

Fairytale of New York will seem even more poignant this year.

A life well lived. Legendary laugh as well.

One of Irelands greatest, well respected over there, lyricist, poet, tradional Irish  folk music.

There were many facets to a talented but sometimes troubled man.

As Mark says Fairytale In New York  will be sad this year.

He was English....born in Pembury, Kent

That is true.

But he was Irish.

My wife was born in Germany. She's Irish.

 

Edit

Yer man MacGowan there used to play in the pub she grew up in, whenever he was out on the west coast. All the stories about him are true.
