The Dead Thread

RIP Shane McGowan.
RIP Alastair Darling.

Lots of sad news today. And all men of comparatively young ages in modern times.

Lucifer obviously needed a good front man to celebrate Kissingers death.

very sad news. Was a big fan.
Saw this written about him today.

Shane McGowan could write songs that seemed both embracingly familiar and fresh as morning. They'd fill you full of nostalgia for a past you hadn't lived. A very diaspora emotion. No one to touch him.

Herronvolk? Only certain people are important, others are dispensable e.g.Nazi Germany, apartheid South Africa.

Presumably a reference to those in the BBC and others who wish to revise the lyrics of some Pogues songs?

Superiority complex on part of those who decide what the little people may listen to.

Top fella.

My missus is mates with his sister and I`ve met him a few times over the years, both when I was younger at Brookside do`s @marnie and later on through his sister.

Always willing to lend his name to local charities, very good company, great fun and always having massive fall outs, with whichever fella he happened to be with at the time lol

Saddened over this. They lived around the corner from me in Speke. Didn't really know him but met him a few times at parties they always seemed to have in their house. I was the same age as his younger brother, think it was Neil, but everybody just knew him as Sully. As you say, he was a nice guy.

Great company and a top laugh, very much like his sister too.
