shane has confessed to most of the things mentioned, too. the drink and drug usage. so what was between shane and god...he told us about.
It’s up to him!
Someone may throw away his dirty sheet. Why to pick it up and jolly run around with it?
We used to manage with words too flippantly.
Most of us would revolt if someone dared to count steaks or candies we do per day (“hey it’s privacy violence, mind your own business!”) but we easily let ourselves count others’ drugs, slag others’ partners, give them business advices, etc.
Yes, most people know Shane as “that toothless drunkard with drug abuse, who will pass in a month” (thank you very much, our dear mass media). Imagine one of them wanting to learn more about the man will peep into forum and what he will find here? “normal man would be dead by now with the amount of drink n drugs shane as taken over the last 10 years. “ Great!
We are supposed to be his fans, yeah? And this is supposed to be a forum of true connoisseur of pogues’ creations (not lovers of naughty rumours), right? I would not like to see this decent place turning into filial of some yellow tabloid.
You say we all know he did it? Ok we know it (or rather something about it). But we also know he does loads of other things too (if you know what i mean), should we discuss them here?
There are loads of great topics regarding Shane and The Pogues: favourite album, favourite, song, favourite line (I am waiting impatiently for favourite word and favourite letter). The great Band is an endless source of topics for really constructive conversation! It’s a kind of humiliation for such great musicians to be an inspiration for “drug” gabbing.
--------------
It's my personal opinion, not a personal attack on you, Tom (or you, Simon). I am just fed up with all that silly stereotypes and senseless accusations.
And yes, i am glad to admit it again - he looks great now! Well done, Shane !
