Shane MacGowan, The Pogues dies; age 65. (pneumonia).

NRP: Shane MacGowan, irascible frontman of The Pogues, has died at age 65.

His drinking and drugging would destroy his body, but MacGowan led the Pogues to international renown.

"I'm just following the Irish way of life," MacGowan said in Crock of Gold. "Cram as much pleasure as you can in your life and rile against the pain that you have to suffer as a result and then wait for it to be taken away with beautiful pleasure."

Not PC: with a very nice write up on him and music videos.
