Yeah, and it's really harrowing to think that Four O'Clock in the Morning is about his experience. I hope things have been better since, too. In the meantime, this video of Andrew (and everyone else!) happily clowning in a (mimed?) French TV performance is always cheering to watch. :)

It gave "My Baby's Gone" a whole new meaning too.


Yep, two already thoroughly depressing songs made even more so.

Eugh! Think that description has probably mentally scarred me for life.

First heart-wrenching moment was early on when he told us about the tragic loss of Andrew's wife when their baby was only days old. Found myself thinking about that repeatedly since finishing the book and hoping that life has been kinder to both Andrew and his son during the intervening years.

Nice to see from the acknowledgements that his ex Debsey helped him with the book. Not sure if I'd have been so charitable, under those circumstances....


It seems even nicer of Debsey to have agreed to help with backing vocals on the last two Pogues albums.

That was strange. You'd kind of figure that white guys singing reggae (even pop reggae) would be more of a mellow lot, but I guess not.

Learned that there's such a thing as a Black Zombie. Still haven't gotten around to concocting one.

I learned that "poguetry" is two puns in one. I always thought it was just a pun on poetry because of the "in motion" part, but in the book it says that Frank Murray liked it as pun on "purgatory."

Anyway, what are some things that stick out for you, no pun intended! (those who've read the book can guess what I mean by that... :roll: )
