pain cake Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 (edited) I'm a big fan of the Pogues, band that made traditional Irish folk songs, simply awesome.OH! i fuckin hate the Pogues, Shane McGowan is such a phoney. pretty good in the movies straight to hell though.Phony in what aspect?phoney in the band wagon jumping faux 70s brit punk johnny-come-lately respect. exaggerated attempts at art with an affected working class british accent.McGowan wrote Sally MacLenanna (personal favourite) in 1975 and performed with the Clash before they cut their self titled debut. Wouldn't call that band wagon jumping. Especially since they only formed in 1983 when the hype had pretty much shifted to US pop radio and Mtv.
