I wonder how people with talent manage to piss it away against the wall or stuff their veins with poison. Dylan Thomas, Brendan Behan, Jim Morrison, et al and of course MacGowan. I never had much time for the Pogues and MacGowan myself as I felt that coming on stage pissed out of his skull was an insult to the people who had paid good money to see him. Does he really think that that headful of tombstones he calls teeth are attractive to people? Incidentally the Observer newspaper colour magazine had an interesting article on him a few weeks ago.
