The extent and the importance of The Pogues cannot be underestimated. As a small example, I note that I play music at Nursing Homes for the elderly, and Sally MacLennanne and Transmetropolitan (with discrete word changes) and Lullabye of London are among their favorite songs. The more alert groups enjoy Thousands Are Sailing.
My daughter bought me a ticket to the Brixton shows in 2001. All I had to do was find out how to get to London and where to crash.
