For the first time. Whoever said you shouldn't meet your heroes was wrong. He was as gentle as a puppy, asked me what my name was and used it throughout our conversation. Trust me I was shaking. I asked him to sign my table reservation and underneath where it said 'usualdog x 2' he wrote Love + 1, and covered the paper with stars and 'Shane'. I couldn't help myself so I hugged him and kissed him. It was the best day of my life and one I waited 22 years since I first saw Shane at De Montfort Hall in Leicester when The Pogues supported Elvis Costello and my life was changed forever. Thanks Shane.
