I don't disagree with you Keith. He's obviously a very talented man, and it is pretty sad to see him these days

It's probably typical of Great Britain's attitude to it's artists that he will never be fully appreciated until he's dead, which, if carries on like he is, won't be to long.
Shane MacGowan is one of the best, most under rated, unappreciated Lyricists and song writers of all time, seldom has an artist had the respect of his peers that MacGowan undoubtedly has.
It breaks my Heart to watch him decend to the Depths he has.
And no Claire, his teeth haven't been as bad.

Saw them @ Rock City in 85 and 88 - stayed way waaaaaaay back. Can't add anything more eloquent. Just really glad I saw them when I did.They can still make me cry.
