I saw the Pogues as the support band to Elvis Costello in either 84 or 85 at Hammersmith Palais.

Shane was pissed, Cait was angry but all in all it made me a bit of a fan.

I wouldn't say I'm an avid fan of his works (in that I've never read any of them, nor indeed any 'dub poetry') but he always came across as a decent bloke.

Doh! You're right....but I wouldn't be too surprised if it was him too, he got about a bit... :shock:

He had romances with Ursula Andress, Bianca Jagger, Anouk Aimée, Jacqueline Bisset, Barbra Streisand,Joan Collins, Diana Ross, and Anjelica Huston. According to his daughter Tatum O'Neal, he also had an affair with Melanie Griffith.
