Shane MacGowan (from the Pogues) has never been the poster boy for good health and clean living. However, I just watched that compilation video of "Here's to You Ronnie Drew" on U2.com. Shane can be seen throughout it, and frankly I don't think he can possibly have that much time left among us. He's got that certain white-gray clammy looking skin with red rings around his eyes that one sees only in the terminally ill and very, very, old.
I have tickets to see the Pogues in Philadelphia on March 13. While I'm very much looking forward to it, I think I'd rather our friend just put away the bottle and go take a good long nap. Give that poor body a rest. I can wait.
