	The Pogues
		Shane McGowan (vocals), Jim Fearnley (guitar) and Spider Stacy (tin whistle) were the original members of the Pogues, in the days when they busked on the streets of London.
		Unfortunately, looming over all of this was Shane McGowan and his violent behaviour, and his hard-core alcohol and drug abuse.
		Shane MacGowan remains the sole member of the band in the spotlight, having founded The Popes[?] (AKA Shane MacGowan and the Popes in 1994.

		Shane sees it as his duty to educate me in Irish history, so I'm in for a lot of lecturing about Brian Ború, the Black and Tans, Michael Collins, Partition, 'Ireland is a woman', the craic, the whole tear-stained Emerald-Isle package.
		Shane claims that when he was a small child in Tipperary, they gave him two Guinnesses a night as his bedtime drink and later, when he was eight, an uncle introduced him to Powers whiskey.
		Shane sings me ' Woman come in the name of love ' and ends with the plea - 'Can I not convince you to come out with us and rob a bank?' I tell him my husband wouldn't like it and he accepts that - obeying your husband is good.

	If I Should Fall From Grace
		McGowan, clearly drunk and almost incomprehensible through most of the interviews (subtitles may be in order), is evasive on the matter, claiming bizarrely that the band wanted to stop playing Irish music.
		Shane McGowan's wilderness years were spent drinking and drugging it, occasionally dueting with artists such as Nick Cave ("Wonderful World") and Sinead O'Connor, who notoriously shopped him for heroin possession in an apparent attempt to intervene with the man's self-destruction.
		The Shane McGowan that emerges from this portrait is as paradoxical as his music, hiding behind a mask of simplicity lies a complex man who wrestles every day with his own private demons.

	Shane MacGowan
		Shane and his friend Jem Finer were also involved in a backing band for a school teacher.
		Shane and Jem auditioned their neighbour, Andrew Ranken, on drums, but he was the singer in another group and did not have the time to participate in another project.
		Shane remembered that the former Nips guitarist had taken piano lessons, so he was roped in an the accordion and showed up on James Fearnley's doorstep, the accordion in a landry bag.

		With her sharp tongue and brash sensuality, Rose McGowan has been a source of both titillation and discomfort to an industry that still hasn't quite figured out what to do with women who are both unapologetically smart and sexual.
		The child of hippies, McGowan was born in Florence, Italy to a French mother and Irish father.
		Her family relocated to Oregon when McGowan was ten, at which point, not only could she not speak English, but she had yet to see a movie; in fact, she didn't even know about them.

	The Nips - Press Archive - MNE October 27, 1979
		Shane, y'see, has been a personality of sorts ever since - as punk legend would have it - he chanced to have his earlobe bitten off at yet another of those primal Clash bashes.
		SHANE and I are talking in the early hours of a Friday in a squat just off London's Euston Road.
		Shane puts his 'girl trouble' down to what he'd call his 'physical handicaps' - big ears and what were the worst set of front teeth this side of Jerry Dammers until a couple of weeks ago when he had them capped.

		Shane MacGowan doesn't remember much about leaving the Pogues, except this: "I was glad to get out alive." It was 1991.
		The band were in Japan, in the middle of a gruelling tour that had driven all the members to the brink of insanity and MacGowan was finding it particularly hard to live up to his reputation as a "songwriting legend".
		The situation is further muddied by Woods' assertion that Shane is happier because he's not under pressure.

	ROCKIN BOPPIN LUNATIC
		Shane has been having regular conversations with dead people for as long as I have known him, and has often admitted to channelling words and music from other worldly beings.
		Astooped, whiskey-bottle-toting Shane McGowan appeared to be 47 sheets to the wind when he took the stage with the reconstituted Pogues at the 9:30 club on Thursday.
		McGowan walked up to his mike, opened his toothless mouth and said, "Blargh garhde darlgzane argha." In fact, he pretty much said nothing comprehensible other than the slurred song titles he struggled to read from the set list posted at his feet.

		Shane and the other commentators give insight to how the songs came about, their production, and the eventual toll touring took on the band's health.
		Shane is presented here in raw form, with all of the real effects of the heavy alcohol and drug use showing unabashedly their deadly effects on the human body.
		Just watching Shane as he ambles through his day, writes a song at home, poses for pictures with fans, etc. is worth the price of admission because there is absolutely NO pretense with this guy.

	GIG REVIEWS & VINTAGE REVIEWS
		Shane finishes his encore with 'Sally MacLellane', and the line rings out: "I'm sad to say I must be on my way..." and with that he shuffles off the stage and into the night, punk poet and dreamer voice for a whole generation.
		Despite the late night, the following day (St Patricks Day March 17th) Shane was up on stage in Belfast to entertain the crowds only for Belfast's Lord Mayor Martin Morgan to complain he was drunk and a bad example to the audience that were mainly teenage kids and their parents.
		He was expected to perform a gig in Belfast on the same night but the gig was cancelled when the street the venue was situated on was co-ordened off after a subsequent ficticious bombscare.

		Shane vocally sounds better than he had since "If I Should Fall from Grace of God" which says a lot because the last two Pogues albums his vocals were really weak.
		I often laugh (and feel sad) as I listen to some of the songs that are overpowered by what I call the "drunken stylings of Shane McGowan." On one song, "A Mexican funeral in Paris", he is so obviously dead drunk, I don't know how he made it through.
		Well, on this album Shane proves he can beat them at their own game, with rockers like Church of the Holy Spook and Mexican Funeral In Paris, while staying true to his roots for the rest of the album.

	CLUAS Indie Gig Reviews: Shane MacGowan live in the Olympia, Dublin
		Flying in the face of all reason and common sense Shane MacGowan is more popular in Dublin nowadays than any time since his split with the Pogues.
		It's no surprise, as well over half the people in the Olympia tonight are too young to remember that group's heyday.
		But the Olympia performance underlines again just how deeply the myth of Shane MacGowan has become entangled with the reality - and the fact that nobody, least of all MacGowan himself, seems prepared to sort the mess out.

	The Popes - Release The Beast : album review
		McGowan assembled The Popes after he was unceremoniously hustled out of The Pogues (note the cheeky sight-rhyme of the band names).
		In fact, when he's not impersonating McGowan, McGuinness's voice is actually closer to the traditional Irish style of Christy Moore.
		In the end, there's nothing spectacularly distinctive about The Popes, and nothing so edgy, confrontational and soulful as when McGowan's in charge, but this is still a very good album with a gutsy live recording to boot.

	A Drink with Shane MacGowan
		One is that Shane is as well-read and intelligent as his many apologists would have us believe.
		Shane is such a tragic-comic figure that our heart immediately goes out to him.
		Shane spins yarns with all the poetic grace of his many literary heroes, but the inconstancy of his stories (as well as the historical inaccuracies) are at times shocking.
