Last week brought the sad news of Shane MacGowan’s death. It has hit me particularly hard, something that has come as a bit of a surprise. I have always liked The Pogues, but they have never been in my pantheon of great bands. MacGowan’s hard living had become a legend, he was lucky to make it to 65. It’s not as if this came as a great shock.
