Within the Pogues

[IrishRover]

Oi was wandering, whats it loike now - insoide the Pogues?
Yup, oim maybe goin' too much into to the band with this questions, but oim not reffering to details, just general atmosphere..
Oi believe every band has problems, especially at beginning but later as well, and Pogues did, Shaneo left at some toime and there were probably other non-pleasant situations. Is it now after so many years perfect, are all the members perfect mates or its more gathering only for the purpose of doing gigs.. oi tend to believe ya people must be great mates in every case cause Pogues are great band(from me personal experience oi know that great band can't be created with bad people, lack of emotions for the music, bad atmosphere among members - even if those are best musicians in the world).

The band gets along for the most part, but they are mostly irritated and disgrunted all the time, at the fact that I am not in the band.

Oirish, I can't possibly answer this question, even generally, without the help of a shrink or a priest or both. Even the best of mates sometimes have their differences, resentments, froiddeurs and the occasional desire to throttle each other. But I suppose we're so surprised we're all still here and still playing together that we tend to be respectful of the laws of karma. We sort of know what The Pogues means to people, because it means something similar to us, and we try to honour our own legacy without taking ourselves too seriously. When there are occasional failings in people, they tend to be human ones rather than follies of ego.
