If you can't say anything nice....

I didn't find them pretentious. Loud, yes (very).

Jaz Coleman became a bit odd but Walker seemed like a 'solid' sort of chap.

Later stuff got a bit 'meaningful' I suppose.

Funnily enough I worked with a bloke who was their manager in the early days (Tony Bidgood - I think he managed The Stray Cats too). He was one of our admin staff. He wasn't pretentious either.

'Cause of death has not been released'

I should imagine being a 100-year old man was cause enough....

[Mr. Dazzle]

Wow...I'd have guessed Kissinger died in the 90s! Had no idea he was (until very recently) still about.

Yup and still very active in politics. He never stopped working until now obvs

As I once read somewhere: death is nature's way of telling you to take it a bit easier.

There's this year's Christmas No. 1.

Guaranteed.

Seen them several times and when they were good they were awesome but remember a couple of poor performances (Reading Festival was the worst) where SM couldn't stand up on his own due to drink, the boys dumped him in a corner and carried on.
Personal favourite of mine is Young Ned of the hill, one of many fantastic songs they did.

[Bigjawa]

He was actually English!

I liked his work with the Popes.

Shane McGowan of Pogues fame

Just saw a pic of him in his hospital bed, trying to smile for the camera. Doesn't look like it ended well!

[Mr Moofo]

I am amazed that McGowan made it past 33 - let alone getting to 65.

Even more amazed his liver lasted with him

[Mr. Dazzle]

Former badger/chancellor Alastair Darling.

[Skub]

Ah fuckit. I liked the old Shane boyo. He and Ronnie Drew and Bap Kennedy all worked hard at the drink and there's only one winner.
