I hate that this will get overshadowed by the news about Kissinger. The man was an absolute bard and will be sorely missed.

Damn. RIP.

The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out.

Now you'll sing a song of liberty for blacks and paks and jocks
And they'll take you from this dump you're in and stick you in a box
Then they'll take you to Cloughprior and shove you in the ground
But you'll stick your head back out and shout "We'll have another round"

The dying days... its always comes in waves and it will be more and more as these people who created the events of the 60's, 70's and now the 80's come to the end of their days.

I wasn't a huge fan of the Pogues but damn they had a singularity about them. Nothing compares to their sound and the lyrics, especially in a punk setting.
