Love the pougues, If I Should Fall From Grace With God is a classic album imo... He was never gonna make old bones, 65 is a hell of an age for someone who lived how he lived... maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but has left a catalogue of music that I personally love...

WILF 44,329 Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 I can see most of you lads rated him, I have to admit, I just never got it…..I thought the Pogues were rubbish. Teeth rotted out by Horse, pissed all the time…..I’d wager most wouldn’t go near him if he was just some bloke in the street, and yet he was loved by a lady who is a talented writer and artist in her own right, well thought of by lots of people as is obvious on this thread so there must have been something but I’m buggered if I can get it ? I guess all art is subjective…..like people. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol That’s the lad that wrote that song Arsenal use I think. Ive been listening to a lad called JP Worsfold, he lives in the Lake District and is a park Ranger or something as his day job…..but he has done a couple of albums.

They are another form of poetry. When they gave Bob Dylan the Nobel prize for literature, it was thoroughly deserved. I can't believe the creativity of some artists. One of my favourites is Peter Green from the original Fleetwood Mac.He taught himself to play,became one of the greatest guitarists in the world and wrote spine chilling lyrics. He seemed to have that self destructive side to his nature too. Ebay McColl's Dirty Old Town, never fails to get to me. That song is the story of my life. Nobody sang it better than Shane.

While your in Barcelona check out Casa Mia and especially Parc Guell it looks like everything is made of marzipan Gaudi is where the old fashioned expression it looks a bit gaudy comes from great place enjoy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
