Shane MacGowan RIP

My Mum used to read Wind in The Willows to me as I sipped my bedtime Jagerbomb.

Plastic Paddy

Eh? About as Irish as it gets.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He was born and grew up in Kent.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

His dad is from Dublin and his mum is from Tipperary. He is Irish.

If you were born in China you wouldn't be Chinese ffs


----------------------------------------------------------------------
So his parents are Irish and he’s English then

Hes as Irish as McSauce and Rod Stewart are Scottish.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, Rod Stewart is British just like you and I.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

So is McSauce. You, me, McT, Rod. All not Scottish.

And in the UK, if you were born here, regardless of your parents nationaility, you are British. Probably the same in China.

He's slightly more Irish than Joe Biden I suppose.

Is that plastic Norwegian fit this weekend

WHO?

Can’t replace Shane or any of the Pogues, music is just not being made like that now. It’s the plastic era.

He’s probably up there now drinking Peter O’Tool, George Best and Oliver Reed under the table of the Pearly Gates inn.

The Pogues were so much more Farytale of New York, great band, with a number of great Irish songs underpinned by great lyrics and storytelling through Shane’s charasmatic style.

R.I.P

He was born in England and went to a top Public School here, how more English can you get?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

He also spent a chunk of his childhood in Ireland as his parents went back there, being Irish and all
----------------------------------------------------------------------
His music is certainly as authentically Irish as you will find.

Let’s call him Anglo-Irish eh?

Why not Irish which was quite clearly what he identified himself as and was the household he was brought up in?

Cinci, out of interest, what do you 'identify as'?
