I didn't see the news of hia death. I'm sad.But I have to admit that I'm somewhat surprised he lived this long. I hadn't thought of the Pogues in a while. "A Pair of Brown Eyes" was a staple on my mix tapes back in the day.
I said to a friend last night, that if you told me in 1989 that Shane would live to 65, I'd have though that he had a good run. Which then made me kinda sad all over again.
His wife Victoria announced his passing last night via Instagram
“I don’t know how to say this so I am just going to say it. Shane who will always be the light that I hold before me and the measure of my dreams and the love of my life and the most beautiful soul and beautiful angel and the sun and the moon and the start and end of everything that I hold dear has gone to be with Jesus and Mary and his beautiful mother Therese.”
A mighty and touching tribute Scott.
excellent, thank you
Very nicely written. Many thanks for posting.

Yeah, I’ve been driving around on a business trip in LA playing the Pogues.
Stellar writing. Thank you bro
I didn't see that he has passed. I thought maybe this post was tied to another death.
