Vinegar Tits 606 Posted July 23, 2017 Shane MacGowan at U2 Croke Park gig aftershow (ho ho, "Croke". It's a bit like 'croak'... ) Still in a wheelchair I see. Back on the pop (hey! another U2 reference crowbarred in - gosh, I'm on form tonight) apparently too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Edge is also "the singer" so it's about the ignorance of whoever wrote those captions Shane - on the other hand - just went on my 2018 longlist; the guy's in a terrible state Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MacGowan is a long-term alcholic who's easily dished out abuse on a George Best/Gazza scale to his constitution. He slurs, can't walk and appears to revel in the public falling apart he's staged since the 80's. The only question is whether like Ronnie Biggs he'd embrace our interest in him.

I really hope the committee learned their lesson from putting Gazza on the list. He has to have been one of the worst picks in recent years. MacGowan would be a horrible pick, you can't always depend on alcoholism and a terrible figure for a hit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted July 25, 2017 Gascoigne's in no way a horrible pick, the man clearly isn't going to turn his life around at any point soon and he's one of maybe 10 people in the UK whose deaths would guarantee multiple days of newspaper frontpages. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was and still is a risky pick. He could go on for a decade and there really was no reason to specifically nominate him in 2016. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,645 Posted July 25, 2017 MacGowan didn't spend any time as a professional sportsman (which probs insured Gazza's constitution for a while) and MacGowan was already shipping alcoholic levels of booze when Gazza was running miles for a living. I'm picking him next year 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
