Curse me I'm Irish
The Pogues play the Wiltern tonight... Wendy wasn't super hot on the idea of going, but I explained that Joe Strummer sang for them when Shane MacGowan was in rehab and Ted Leo + Pharmacists cover their songs. What else can be said?
Yes, the band plays drunken, Irish folksy songs, but there's politics and soul bubbling under the debauchary and fueling the anger, sadness, and energy. A most excellent way to start a weekend...

Holy crap! how was the Pogues show?
I would kill to see the Pogues. The closest I ever got was seeing Shane MacGowan when he toured for "The Snake". That was actually a pretty good show. They played lots of Pogues stuff along with material off "The Snake".
Have you seen that Shane MacGowan documentary? That is one awesome movie.
The were rad, but we got there a little late so I missed the first song or two and we stood way in back... I gotta see them again!
