Is this Blind Item about Shane?

Post Thu May 11, 2006 10:38 pm

Which old Irish singer spends evenings on tour with "the United Nations"? This is his code to the tour manager for three postitutes: one white, one black and one Asian>

It's on a few of the celebrity gossip blogs

I can't think it would be anyone else.

Nope. top three answers are:
1) Shane
2) Van Morrisson
3) Bono-cause I guess there is a lot of hostility toward the guy

I still vote Shane

If that from this weeks Popbitch then i think it's aimed at Bono. It was in an old edition a couple of years ago. By do they not like him on there.

Benno! Don't sink general discussion level below plinth, please!
Some personal opinions are so personal that it's better to keep them on one's person, you know.

One White
One Black
One Asian
and we'll head for the sack.

Boy I think yer onto something there. Sounds pretty plausible;) joking apart that blind item has surfaced so many times over the last 10 years it'll soon qualify as an urban myth. If it's not an Irish singer it's a Politition from the sticks.

To think Shane does this is ridiculous. Do you really think Shane MacGowan has ever needed to pay for sex? He may look a bit worse for the wear these days, but he still oozes charm. No?

Well, Maybe.

But to me the question is not of just a sexual nature(the actual act of having sex with prostitutes), it is of a sexist nature. The bit about the women being of different races. It is not only reducing whoever they are refering to as sexist, but also a racist. So, back to the original question..could this in fact be about Shane? If so, why would they think it would be Shane?
