Shane's new teeth
Nice to see Mr. MacGowan with a new set of teeth and nice to see that they are already yellow! Pearly white just really wouldn't have looked right.I remember a pre Pogue Shane in 1978 or so getting a new set of caps to go over his already tombstone like teeth then and they must have lasted a couple of months if that! And with his birthday being on Xmas day maybe this was the wish come true.
(Thanx to the 'hangover-helper' for pointing me in this direction)

Words by Tom McGrath (RIP)
Growing old
My jaws unfold
My face is wrinkled
Starting to crinkle
But we'll be bold
Before we're old
we'll show them what we're made of.
My jaws unfold
My face is wrinkled
Starting to crinkle
But we'll be bold
Before we're old
we'll show them what we're made of.
(From 'Laurel & hardy' 1976)
Chorus
Come walk beside me
Come take my hand and walk beside me
walk beside me till the gurgling stream
comes easing through the stones
rolling the pebbles all around and taking us down
into the further depths where coldness
laps in around our toes
splashes our ankles
but we have no regrets
we have no regrets
even though our feet are wet
Come walk beside me
Come take my hand and walk beside me
walk beside me till the gurgling stream
comes easing through the stones
rolling the pebbles all around and taking us down
into the further depths where coldness
laps in around our toes
splashes our ankles
but we have no regrets
we have no regrets
even though our feet are wet
(A homage to the aria of Bach's Goldberg variations 1999)
My sister in Glasgow attended Tom McGrath's funeral a couple of Fridays ago and very kindly sent me a copy of the Order of Service pamphlet.
The words above were printed on the back page.
Thanx WJN (with loveXXX)

WOW!
I have just discovered a couple of blogs both done by someone calling themself 'quantum retrocausality':Identical Men From Parallel Universes
&
Circumambient Peripherisation
They are really something else indeed.
We obviously share an interest in some of the same subjects (Brion Gysin, On-U Sound and WSB immediately come to mind and I even have a post on Marshall McLuhan here) but believe me if these two blogs are at the top of the Premier League then mine is in the League One playoff final in comparison.
Check them out!
