This could not be more apt. The Pogues touring 'Rum, Sodomy & The Lash' on this very day 38 years ago. Today also happens to be Shane's funneral. The band's second album was in my opinion their masterpiece, albeit one of a trio of peerless albums, the first three from the band. I used to have this on tape, but mislaid it some years ago. Thanks to musicfan1 for the Dime uploaded replacement!
Some weeks ago I put a list of bands that I intended to post as part of a 'Too Fast To Live Too Young To Die' themed thread. The Pogues were on that list as Phil Chevron was lost to cancer some years ago. Now Shane is gone too. Bad days.
