All I Want For Christmas Is Shane MacGowan's Two Front Teeth
...And for him to live until next Wednesday. The Pogues are just about the only band that my whole family agrees to like. A while ago I heard that they were coming to town, I politely explained how that wasn't possible, I knew for a fact that Kristy MacColl is dead, and I figured that the still living others had moved on by now. I didn't think twice about it. But apparently I was wrong, dead wrong. The original Pogues are coming to San Francisco on Wednesday, and so is my daddy, I'm looking forward to a little family bonding time. So, till then, hang on Mr. MacGowan, I've seen what you look like these days, and it isn't pretty. I'm not asking for much, I'm just asking that you survive long enough to make a girl and her men-folk happy.

Stop it. That is not a real person.
It IS a real person and we are going to see him SING TO US at the Fillmore! Also, for the record, kristy maccool was never in the original line-up for the Pogues. She did do one hugely influential duet with Shane McGowan. But the original line-up was as follows: Shane MacGowan (see picture), James Fearnley, Spider Stacy, Jeremy 'Jem' Finer, Cait O'Riordan and Andrew Ranken.
sweet title, my friend. ya done good.
I saw The Pogues on st. patricks day, and they sang Fairy Tale of NY while dropping loads of fake snow on the crowd. It was totally corny, but SO MOVING. Unfortunately Kirsty Macoll got run over by a speedboat about 5 years ago and was unable to sing the girl part.
