Love the Pogues reference, even though you used a song written by someone other than the brilliant Shane McGowan (I love Phil Chevron too though) whose image is to the left.
Paul- I love Shane but this is such a NYC piece. I used to hit the pubs in Hells Kitchen in 1985 and '86 hitting on red haired Irish bar maids. They were everywhere and I got no where.
I knew my comment made no sense given the cool photos of Ellis Island but since my picture on Blogger is Shane I had to comment (should have said image to the right).
Between The Pogues, Big Audio Dynamite, and Style Council, British Punk bands like The Clash and The Jam have a lot of great music as their legacy.
Did you ever see any of them in London in your Lloyds' days?
Just this morning my wife was lamenting the sale of her Pogues CD in a yard sale. Like minds...
ReplyDeleteThose statue photos you took are still fascinating.

Paul- Only saw a Jam tribute band at a friend's 40th. They were pretty good. I have pictures somewhere...
