Shane MacGowan (Pogues) dead at 65

[dr wogz]

We hear his Christmas carol every year (fairytale of new york) and was an inspiration throughout the 80's & 90's at school (and more so at the pubs after classes!!)

A distinctive sound and a distinctive voice, another fond memory of my youth now nothing more than a memory.

Have you seen the coverage of his funeral?
Huge crowds all singing and paying tribute.
And the funeral itself....how fitting and beautiful.
