Deathrow66 36 Posted November 30, 2023 The deathlist had not Bern updated to.shiw Shane McGowan passed away nor not updated the deathlist count from 16 to 17 Plus I bet 2023 will be the year a lot of people pasd away Plus shocking both David Attenborough and Ruth langsford mother both late 90s are still alive which is shocking what's keeping these old people alive 1 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 14,253 Posted November 30, 2023 Now things have calmed down just a touch I'd like to say that Shane was a cultural phenomenon, a genius lyricist and had a 'my way or fuck right off' approach to life that you could respect. What a unique character. What a loss. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dying Probably 570 Posted November 30, 2023 Wow. Is this the first time we have two two-in-a-day days in a year? (and if not, the first time we've done that with consecutive hits?) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 4,650 Posted November 30, 2023 With Darling, I can't remember another day recently when 4 people have had death notices on the BBC News homepage in one 24-hour period. Woke up to Kissinger, checked at break and saw Dean Sullivan, checked at lunch and Shane McGowan was lead story and a few entries down was breaking news about Darling! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm bemusedly imagining right wing US Statesman Henry Kissinger, gay scouse actor Dean Sullivan, big New Labour figure and ex Chancellor Alistair Darling and no bs forthright hard living Irish music legend Shane MacGowan all gathered together on the VIP transportation cloud for famous people , to the afterlife having a natter as they make their way into the next realm.. 6 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just saying if Ruth Langfords mom was tied to a train track and 45 small children were on the other train track I would let the train run over the kids. Heck, knowing myself I'd probably tie a few puppies to the track for shits and giggles. But that's not the point. The point is that Ruth Langfords mom is very important and others should kindly die so that she may live. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youth in Asia 1,054 Posted December 1, 2023 I never realised that McGowan was not only brought up in Tunbridge Wells and went to a prep school there, he also won a scholarship to Westminster School, one of the 3 poshest public schools in the country. Seems like he spent the rest of his life trying to disown his upper middle class upbringing and take on the persona of an Irish vagabond (a bit like when Nigel Kennedy started speaking mockney and supporting Aston Villa). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

millwall32 114 Posted December 2, 2023 At 65, MacGowan has to be one of our younger successful hits. We certainly haven't had many in their 40's and 50's. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s quite surprising - Maurice looked pretty ancient in “The Great Hunger: The Life and Songs of Shane MacGowan” (1997) and the tabloids reported that he was in ill health when Shane got married in 2018 and would be likely to miss the ceremony. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
