Songwriter and consummate drunken mess - Shane Macgowan

Well, I have to go with the dentist answer. "If I Should Fall From Grace With God" is a masterful rock album though. And this despite not having a single electrical instrument on the whole thing (that I can recall).

Is this a poll about the pogues' music or is it about wether we give a shit about their singer being a drunk or not?

Crap
