He came in for a lunch time drink in the pub in Kilburn that I worked in.
He had a pint.
Of sherry.

I wasn't a big fan of The Pogues, but "Thousands Are Sailing" was a good song of theirs.

The irony about SM’s teeth is that his wife seemed to be making up for his lack of them.
She has a massive set of Horse teeth!

I know it wasn’t his song but Dirty Old Town is a classic.
Remember seeing him interviewed years ago and he was drinking PINTS of Pernod!

I read somewhere it was SM who recommended The Jam to one of the Polydor A&R men

Weller a big fan especially when SM was in the Nips... face in the London Mod scene.... his stuff with the Pogues will stand the test of time... burnt the candles at both ends with a flamethrower... absolute character

Tbf he’s looked at Deaths door for much of his life so he’s done well to last as long as he did.
I always assumed McGowan & the Pogues were 100 percent Irish. Didn’t realise they were all from England albeit leaning into their Irish roots with the music.
Fairytale of New York is obviously a classic so even if you weren’t familiar with his other stuff and only took that into account he deserves a lot of credit for co writing that.
RIP

Never mind Fairytale of New York, as great as it is, Rum Sodomy & The Lash is a fucking monster of an album and well worth listening to in it's entirety. THAT is a legacy.
