A few thoughts on Shane MacGowan's new teeth.
My first reaction to the news was a high-pitched "Whaaaaaa?" I know some Pogues fans are quite troubled by this but I said "good for him!" I especially like how the teeth are gray and discolored to match his grizzled face. These implants might make him sound like he did when he had that charmingly decayed grin back in the 80s. Maybe now the crowd won't shrug in bewilderment at his garbled attempts to tell off color jokes on stage. My favorite quip from their show in Pompano was his pithy yet insightful observation of South Florida's weather, "This town feels like a big wet pussy."
Besides my selfish thought on the quality of his vocals (which honestly had not changed much since he lost his chompers) I must say it's good to see him taking care of himself a little. The Pogues are one of those bands at the top of my "see 'em before they die" list. Every time I have gone to a Pogues show I have said to myself "this will probably be the last time." There are few songwriters as poetic as Shane so this is a guy who should stay around awhile longer.

My toe? LOL ... I just finished ironing almost two and a half years ago, and as I folded the ironing board, it slipped out of my hands and landed on my foot.
