1. Nope.

In college my best friends and I used to stay up on Wednesday nights before our creative writing class getting hammered and listening to the Pogues and writing our heads off and cursing the English.

I wish I still had most of those notebooks, nothing I've written has been quite as good since.

3. saw them 4 times in the layte 80's/early 90's

Loved every show, even when Shane was incoherent. Elvis Cpostello was at one of them in Columbus, OH when he was still w/ Cait; I was shocked to see him by the stage as they were playing...

5. Fairytale of New York is the best Christmas song of all time

"White Christmas?" Neh.

"I'll Be Home for Christmas?" Feh.

"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas?" Meh.


"Fairytale of New York?" Now that's what I'm talking about!

6. I sing "Dirty Old Town," "Young Ned of the Hill" and other songs as lullabies to my children.

So, no.

7. Love them to death.

I wore out several tapes in college. I saw them live when Joe Strummer toured with them too. I've never felt such electricity go through a room like that before or since. I think we all levitated simultaneously when he came out on stage.

8. Sure, but you gotta hate that one guy's dentist, though. n/m
