Dear fellow fans,
This week, my kids turned two and five years old, respectively, so this morning I set out to clean my house after all the birthday parties this had entailed. My soundtrack was "If I Should Fall From Grace With God", which I listened to several times from beginning to end. The music, all of it, is so beautiful, and rings so true to me, even though I'm neither Irish or English or anything of the sort, nor male, nor Catholic, nor drunk, etc. So couldn't we all just ... be thankful for a moment ... that this music exists, that this band still exists, and that they are even still touring (although not in my home country - but I remain hopeful), in spite of all the challenges they've had to overcome, and are continually overcoming, during the past three decades. Sorry if I'm being a bit unctious about this. I'm just genuinely and permanently thrilled that The Pogues are a part of the world, and I wish the discussion would turn back to this miracle

All the best to all of you ...
