There. I said it.

You mean the very first question here?

Huh.

[Mike from Boston]

Crusty? Old? Not I. I am, however, slightly oblivious to sarcasm. My apologies, Mike. We need a sarcasm font on here or something. The sad thing is that I *have* seen people think that Shane is already dead.

Sorry girlfromcountyhell, I was not referring to you. I have read your posts and know that you are a young vivacious Pogues fan. I must have been thinking of DzM...

Who is in fact both crusty and old.

But not snarky like me....No apologies necessary...I am glad of course that Shane is still alive and I will see him in March at the new HOB.

You'd be amazed at how snarky I actually am. I have to act like a grownup here and my snarky often hides from view.

Thanks for the reminder.

Is Shane touring with the Pogues for the US dates?

Is Shane touring with the Pogues for the US dates?

46 hours from official announcement to the first "is Shane going to be there,". Is this a record? Anyone keeping track of these things?

Guest - Barring unforeseen disasters this is the full eight-person lineup of Shane, James, Philip, Spider, Darryl, Jem, Andrew and Terry.

Thanks DzM. I promise I looked everywhere I could think to look before posting anything here. The show is easily worth the cash either way, but I have never had the privilege of seeing Shane sing live. Had to ask. Cheers!

I think Oscar the Grouch, fresh off the Pete Seeger 90th bday show, is actually filling in.

Saw then with and without Shane. Both shows rocked!! Joe Strummer did an excellent job. But glad Shane is back.
