So will it offend or frighten anybody if I say he's very much alive? Don't know if anybody has already linked to these articles.

Have to be careful about these things, as there is a Shane McGowan and a Shane MacGowan. As better Mudcatters than I have pointed out on earlier threads than this one.

Christy Moore and others have said something like "In 100 years from now we'll still be singing his songs". I don't know if that's true but I'll be singing them M as long as I'm able. |

13 Dec 20 - 03:57 PM (#4083295) Subject: RE: Shane MacGowan is very much alive From: Helen On Saturday night on Oz TV music programme Rage, there was a special on Julien Temple and Shane MacGowan. I annoyed my Hubby (how unusual!) by whistling or singing along to most of the songs by The Pogues. Unfortunately, there were *only* 15 video clips of Shane with or without The Pogues. I have all of their albums. Shane MacGowan + Julien Temple Special Some other people performing on the clips included The Dubliners, Kirsty MacColl, Nick Cave, Sinead O'Connor. The Julien Temple part of the show was some of his music video clips which he has produced. |

14 Dec 20 - 10:04 AM (#4083380) Subject: RE: Shane MacGowan is very much alive From: AnMal Hehe, OP said (back in 2019, I know)people would see a thread about Shane McGowan and instantly assume he was dead - I saw it and realised that "Wow, he's still alive!" I saw a documentary about him earlier this year (maybe the one mentioned by Jeri?) but thought for sure I had heard of him dying shortly after that. Glad to see I was wrong. |

I always thought it was Oscar Wilde but I'm happy to modify my internal memory-data to attribute it to Mark Twain instead. Thanks for correcting me. |
