…wanted to say “Good Morning.”
He’s busy having his breakfast, so the greeting came out sounding like “Guhmoaaahnowmayt.” Nonetheless, he’d want you to know the importance of breakfast.

What a wonderful way to start the day. No more eggs and bacon for me. From now on it’s Pook’s Pilsner and Chardonnay.

Shane is scheduled for a drinking contest with Brendan Behan’s ghost this afternoon, and it’s important to warm up properly.

Hmm. I’m seeing Jagermeister and Milwaukee’s Best Ice.
But then, I see Jagermeister and Milwaukee’s Best Ice everywhere I look — like that Tootsie Roll comercial.

Wow, what a coincidence. Right before I went to this blog, I listened to ‘Dirty Old Town’ by The Pogues.

Why Guhmoaaahnowmayt to you too, Shane! If I may ask, what have you got for lunch today?

I’ve been a long time fan of The Pogues… and as their songs suggest, they are (or at least one would think they would be) a band for and about (roughly speaking of course) the working class people.
I was excited when I saw they were coming to town on their tour. I was going to get to see one of the bands I’ve loved for years!
BUT! …I really have to ask why the hell they would charge $65 for a show!
What’s the story? Why the hell were they charging so damn much for their tickets? Why weren’t The Pogues walking the walk???
I went and saw The Mekons for $15… now that’s how a band for the working class people really acts!
(Just ranting)

I saw Shane with the Popes at a Guinness Fleadh tour about 10 years ago. He was so wasted that roadies would come out on stage and insert lit cigarettes into his fingers while he was singing. Once, he threw down the mic stand and just stood there swaying, with nothing to hold on to. One of the roadies came out and set it back up, then placed Shane’s hands back on it so he didn’t fall down.
If we were invaded by Zombies, Shane would be the head one that I would kill so all the rest would revert back to normal.
