I saw photos of him a couple days ago and I almost posted about it in some thread, because he definitely looked like someone with a terminal illness. Viral encephalitis isn't great, and if you've treated your brain like a bar rag your whole life it probably makes things worse.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

If he had lived without drinking or drugs he prob would have lived to be like 105 or something. The punishment that body took is insane.

I love Shane and The Pogues. Very sad to hear this but it's incredible that he made it to 65.

He came on a BBC late radio show I listened to in the 90s to do a live show with the Pope's.

To this day I've never heard anyone sound more drunk.

Oh no it's hard to find a vid of him singing at all where he wasn't completely loving wasted in a way that would kill an amateur.

The only way to get huge fast is to insult a passing witch and hope she curses you with Beast-strength.


Drove eight hours and heard the pogues live once. Shane comes out two hours late, stumbling up to the mic, then delivers a two hour flawless concert that blew the doors off the tiny venue

Mourners at the wake were served a “full Christmas carvery” of turkey and ham and roast spuds with cranberry sauce — along with “lots of pints of Guinness”.
Beats the traditional hang sandwiches and endless cups of tea.

Nope, Shane was Irish, MacGregor was born within the ring of Bow Bells, he's 100% Cockney.

Shane McGowan was born in England, and is from the British Isles, ergo he's British. Case closed. Captivatingly British.
