'Lend me ten pound. I'll but you a drink...'
The Pogues and the Folk flame they reignited in the Eighties burn on. It always will. I went to see Lankum for living proof on Saturday night. Experience what that cauldron of lived and passed communal experience and celebration still has to offer. It's beyond explanation and understanding but get yourself to a good bar buy yourself a pint and start to sup it and you'll be well on your way.
The experience of irresponsible inebriation and why so many go for it with such abandon is a story in itself. There are few better songs than this to start the playlist for soudntracking and throwing yourself into that particular experience. Better lived than written about and scrutinised too deeply though there's a particularly potent river of poetry attached to this way of living of course which The Pogues plug into here.. Drink responsibly is my line these days. That hasn't always been the case and I have no regrets. It was fun...
