Sad news, Shane MacGowan of the Pogues died today!! Really liked his music. Saw the Pogues once live some 30+ years ago, guy drank a least a bottle of whiskey during the show. May he rest in peace!!

This is a very good point.Amazing he lived to 65, and we can be glad of that.
That would have been a great time to see them, I suspect!
I saw them twice in Germany, probably late 80's.
You know those songs you can listen to over and over and never get sick of them? Fairytale of New York and If I should Fall from Grace with God are two of mine. Fantastic stuff.

Well this sucks!
65 is still pretty young though. Even though these guys live a reckless life you still don't expect it. I felt stunned when I heard Steve Riley from LA Guns died late Oct of this year around a similar age (67).
It's kinda sad because I feel as though a lot of older bands a magic that few if any newer bands have been able to recapture.
And Keef will live to 110!
