Es ist schon sehr grenzwertig und nicht jugendfrei, was sich Shane MacGowan von den #Pogues und Kirsty MacColl hier an den Kopf werfen. Das macht es definitiv zu dem besonderen #Weihnachtssong, den wir deshalb im #vzzzPodcast analysieren. Genießt die Adventszeit!

So, there's this Japanese guy who just has a channel where he does pogues covers, and I really respect that, even if he's getting like 5 views per video
Tonight I'm going to see THE POGUES playing live in NYC! And then I'm running over to Paddy Reilly's to play with Dark Streets at our first of two Pogues after parties this week! We'll be starting up a bit after 10pm and playing into the wee hours. Free show!
Today in Labor History July 31, 1970: British sailors were given their very last officially sanctioned ration of rum. Black Tot Day took away from sailors one of the very few remaining benefits of the job. The lash has never been formally abolished. And sodomy was never officially permitted.

Today's musings on world events have found me squarely in some lyrics from 40 years ago.

Strawberry Switchblade reviewed the new singles for Smash Hits 40 years ago this week, 28 March 1985. Opinionated, playful, leftfield and really not caring what anyone might think of them, it's classic Strawberry Switchblade.
Cocteau Twins and Eddy Grant meet with their approval, Foreigner and Killing Joke really don't.

Did the old songs taunt or cheer you?
And did they still make you cry?
Did you count the months and years
Or did your teardrops quickly dry?
"Ah, no", says he, "it was not to be
On a coffin ship I came here
And I never even got so far
That they could change my name"
This is different. Kinda nice, isn't it?
