ROSELAND MARCH 14 A STATEMENT FROM THE POGUES

[Streams of Sleet]

What's the word from philly? I'm sitting at home 12 miles away waiting for a ride...the show is still on right?? If I miss this......jeez aahhhhhh Ride's here!!! see you at the show! I hope!

[Guest]

I've got two spare tix for tonight, any takers?

[Up The Banner]

Leaving from the Jersey Shore now. Oooooh, it's nasty out! I hope the lads made it!?

[Guest]

hey folks...sitting in the parking lot in Philly at the electric factory ...they tell me that the boys are inside and the show is on!! its 7pm, btw

[DownInTheGround]

Are Time Zones not the most annoying thing ever?

[HailPogueskins]

Can't make the show and we're heartbroken in Maryland, 2-1/2 hours away from the Electric Factory. The weather here is poor enough to not chance the roads. While I agree with the previous poster, the storm isn't very large. it's sure killed our celebration. Small storm? -yeah, but.. Oh well, at least we were fortunate to have seen the boys at the 9:30 Club last year. Still feels like a kick in the balls with nightslippers instead of Doc M's. ("Ouch" nonetheless.) HAIL TO THE POGUESkins!

JUST SPOKE TO A LIVE PERSON AT THE BOX OFFICE FOR THE FACTORY...
THE SHOW IS ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"That bastard! His drinking caused the sleet! And all of you just encourage this kind of thing! And I hired a babysitter! And I've lost six month's worth of top-ramen money! And it's all Shane's fault that the hail broke the wind-screen on my car! Doesn't he know how much that'll cost me to fix?"

DzM! or should I say Judas?

From you of all people?

And I meant every word!

[sheva]

Well, that's that. I'm not going.

And I can't believe people are actually falling for this whole bad storm story. It's obvious that it's really Shane's bad behaviour that's brought all this on. Come on folks, open your eyes! Ice, sleet, and hail??? That's biblical, it's clearly retribution of some sort. Shane created this weather and the rest of the band are just covering for him.

Oh, and he made my husband sick, too. And not for the first time, I can tell you.

If I don't get a check reimbursing me for my concert ticket as well as compensation for a broken heart, AND a promise that they'll come play in my backyard, well, that's it. I'm finished with them. The whole lot of them.

I might even sue Medusa.

[DzM]

Yay! It's Sheva! Pleased to be stayi ... wait. Hey!

[tboz]

Really bummed, the weather up here in Lambertville is horrible. Just got word from my neighbor that 95 is a mess. I'm not driving. Is the show really on? I'm glad for the people who are pushing through but I am feeling quite sorry for myself. Two tickets, anyone?

[guest]

is the show cancelled for tomorrow?

[Eric V]

At this rate I'm thinking there may only be a couple hundred people there on the 17th. Yay! More Pogues and room for me.

I've been waiting to see The Pogues in concert since my college days in the '80's. My wish came true Thursday night. The Pogues were totally awesome! I was really touched to see Shane perform in the wheelchair. That's dedication! Thanks, Shane and The Pogues. Your fans appreciate all your efforts. God Bless you Shane, and get well soon. New York City loves The Pogues!!
