My favorite incoherent singer is still at it. Click on the picture - he has a special stand for his beer glass!

  • And such lovely dental hygine.
  • I bet he pops open Guinness cans with his good tooth.
  • At least he didn't feel it.
  • a stand for his pint? i am a little surprised that his beer is not delivered through an IV bag.
  • I like to see Shane MacGowan get in a drinking contest with this guy.
  • Heard that on the radio this morning -- poor guy. Can't believe he's 46!
  • I imagine it went something like this: MacGowan: Assa noice shorrt. (That's a nice shirt.) Guy #1: What did you say about my sister??
  • Two grown men need a metal bar to beat up Shane? And he refused treatment for a fracured cheekbone? That's one tough, crazy son-of-a-bitch.
  • So, you're saying they ruined his good looks on the old main drag? Seriously though, I hope he does alright. We've only got one Shane MacGowan and we need to take good care of him.
  • STREAMS OF WHISKEY Last night as I slept I dreamt I met with behan I shook him by the hand and we passed the time of day When questioned on his views On the crux of life
  • this old metafilter thread might be of interest
  • A friend is reading a biography of old Shane right now and apparently he's been drinking two pints with dinner since he was six. I watched what I could of this documentary, but it just got too depressing.
  • i've seen that documentary too. He barely looks human. His eyes bulge so much they don't appear to be attached to his head anymore. just floating there in two dark cavities.
  • Now this guy could have played Gollum without any of those fancy special effects. Just paint him green, and Peter Jackson could have save millions!
  • Speaking purely for myself, I favour a different incoherent singer.
  • I have a stand for my beer glass too, but it's also an amplifier. /starting to itch for a gig, but process is in hand
  • nice, a fan of the fall the cool thing is m e smith's incoherence is not actually alcohol related... he's just an odd and incoherent guy
  • I vote Mark E. Smith ugliest man of all time. Truly a face for the radio.
  • Translate Shane. Guess they don't like him but I thought it was lotsa fun. (5 right, don'tcha know)
