Shane MacGowan of the Pogues has died

The Pogues are what got me into Irish music in the first place. Half of the Irish tunes I play are based on their renditions. A bit amazing he made it this long, considering.

Remarkable that he made it to 65. The man made Ozzy look like a choir boy.

RIP, king.

Was he ever sober enough to GET drunk? I assumed drunk was his steady-state lol.
