Bob Dylan penned this great tune.


I once heard (and was stunned to do so) that Shane wasn't a fan of Bob Dylan's music/lyrics. Anyone else hear this? The person who told me might be mistaken.

How many Dylan songs have the Pogues/Shane covered? I know of two... the above and 'When My Ship Comes In'.

Great Song.

Shane wasn't in top shape that night, was he? His line was more mumbling than singing and sometimes, he really looks like he's gonna fall over. ;)

Blixa is wonderful. And if you haven't heard Nick Cave's (original) version of Where The Wild Roses Grow, with Blixa on vocals doing the "Kylie" part, then seek it out. 8)

Billy Corgan Stole My Wig

It was a quiet Sunday morning when Billy Corgan stole my wig
He tried it on and pranced around, thinking he looked big
And then he turned and ran away, my hairpiece on his head
When I get hold of Billy Corgan, the guy is fucking dead.

Trust me some of the others are actually worth reading. Perhaps not that one.


Well worth it. Don't knock yourself -- it is what it is. I like it.

Yes and Nick Cave was a massive fan of course, hence...

There's plenty about both bands in the rather brilliant Nick Cave biography "Bad Seed" which I lent to an ex-girlfriend many moons ago and sadly never got back.

I recommend it. For those of you who think Shane Mac is lucky to be alive, read THIS book... jeez... that Mr Cave is one charmed guy!!

Yes.

It's a silly four-liner thing. It won't be in "The Best Of Nboldock" should it ever be published.

Thanks! I always wondered about that. Many years ago, I saw a short film starring Michael Imperioli (of the Sopranos) that was called, "Blixa Bargeld Stole My Cowboy Boots." It was very good, although I had no idea who this Blixa fellow was. Thanks again.
