    RIP Shane MacGowen, you were an amazing songwriter and frontman. I am grateful for having had the privilege of seeing The Pogues live in the early '90's. There you were in all your glory, with your bottle of whisky in hand, getting harder and harder to understand as the night wore on, and i loved every second of it. Fly high, sir, away from the pain and troubles of this world, to the next.

A lot of Scandinavian / Appalachian influence was in country music, too. Shane definitely assembled his influences historically.

    When I was between 18 and 21 I use to go to the pub few times a week, I use to leave house between 6 and 7 pm walking downtown for 30min to meet my friends and drink a few beers ( a lot actually )
    On the road I always listen to this album, the first tracks make me full of energy and enthusiasm. 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".
    Feelin' really concerned back then lmao

    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.
