GammaGlobulin Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 F Christmas I always hated Christmas. All that sad music. And then, there was the actress who drowned... She was one of the best to act in a Christmas film. What was her name? Natalie Wood. F Christmas It's not good for anything. Christmas music and Christmas songs give me the shivers. Shiver me timbers; F Christmas. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prubangboy Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 A Drink With Shane McGowan pops up in used bookstores in Thailand. Super-fun read. I prefer his drunken interviews to his records, but it's all good. Saw him, the band was terrible, but he held the audience in the palm of his hand Ala Rod The Mod. -Def a loss, poss at the Tom Waits/Nick Cave-level.

Prubangboy Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) As long as I'm here, Motown Christmas Album and the James Brown Christmas record def get a yearly spin. Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson are good too. For deep trad, there's the Christmas godfather, Andy Williams. Chris Rea -unknown in the states at likewise unknown Nick Drake-levels. If people heard him, they'd love him. Edited November 30, 2023 by Prubangboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a bum You're a punk You're an old slut on junk Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed You scumbag, you maggot You cheap lousy faggot Happy Christmas your arse I pray God it's our last 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikmar Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 quite the songwriter, had some drunken moments listening to his songs over years gone by. Always seemed to go well with a whisky and a Bukowski book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xn47140 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 From an interview done with him in 1988 (Hot Press): "Yeah, quite a lot Not doing anything else though just jacking it all in, doing nothing. I dream about going to Thailand and living there. It's the best place I've been abroad. I'm not counting Ireland, that's more of a second home. Thailand is a great bloody place. I could live there very cheaply, nice comfortable surroundings and nothing to do except lie around drinking all day. It costs virtually nothing to get pissed in Thailand. And they don't speak English so I wouldn't have to waste time talking to complete strangers. And they never even heard of The Pogues. They've also got a great, laid-back attitude to sex! It's a <deleted> dreamland." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjintx Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Saw him with the Popes in Chicago. He threw up all over the stage. Bob Smith has posted since Shane's death. There goes my theory there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
