be honest with me... what are my chances of seeing them?

i'm 2 hours out of new york. 5 or so out of boston. 15 minutes out of philly. now before shane or i, or somebody dies... what are my odds of seeing him live?

i haven't been on the forum, for a while so i missed all the rumors of tours and what not. don't hold anything back...tell it like it is.

who is it most likely to be with? the popes are great and all, but they lack a fire up their ass like the pogues have. don't know what it is, the pogues get your blood flowing, they got a little more heart, or somethins. anywaysss. let me know. he's one of the 2 people left, that i have to see before i die. i'm 22, i got time.

Well, Tom, I have to say I think the chances of seeing Shane in our part of the world (I'm in Philly, right across the river from you) are pretty remote. I would dearly, dearly love to see the Pogues here - and when I say "here", I mean anywhere on the East Coast - but I doubt that's something they want to do, and it doesn't look as if Shane's going to be playing with the Popes anymore. It would be lovely to be proven wrong, of course. And although I've joked that my going to the Glasgow and London shows next month should guarantee the Pogues' deciding to come here, stranger things have happened.

hey, whatever you gotta do.

stop at nothing, to get me to see the pogues.
evidently, though... you're not even allowed to play the states unless you're anti-bush.
but that's a can better left sealed, isn't it?

Wow...that was some leap.
