Shane MacGowan, The Nips, Soho, London, 1981
Strange that Shane Mac Gowan is posing in front of that saying in 1981. Today he is dying of alcoholism. I have always enjoyed listening to the Pogues and their lyrics always have a twisted humor hidden in there. He did become a Star and also a burnt one at that. Sometimes I wonder if deep down inside we all know what we are destined to become in this life. Alot of people will fight it and change their destiny, but not good old Shane Mac Gowen. He seems to have accepted it and made it a perfect art.
