#226 - So Long, Shane MacGowan | New Mountain for BMI | Hozier & TayTay, In Theory
Jay kicks us off this week with a remembrance and celebration of the late Shane MacGowan, who died last week at the age of 65. Known best as the frontman for the Celtic punk band the Pogues, MacGowan brought traditional Irish music to the UK punk scene of the 1970s & 80s. His lyrics were both crass and profound, his voice fit his hard-lived appearance perfectly, and he will be missed.
Songs:
The Pogues - “If I Should Fall From Grace With God”
The Pogues - “The Band Played Waltzing Matilda”
The Pogues (feat. Kristy MacColl) - “Fairytale of New York”
