The irony of being outlived by Shane MacGowan.
- paulette449 3y agoHe has outlived Kirsty MacColl (co-singer on Fairytale of New York) by 23 years and counting. Her death was a tragedy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirsty_MacColl#Death https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirsty_MacColl#Death
- dredmorbius 3y agoI'd discovered MacColl hearing a song of hers on a college radio station whilst road-tripping, and promptly failed to correctly remember the lyrics for years. Eventually got them right ("England Two, Columbia Nil"), and found the artist ... only to learn she'd died, likely shortly before I'd heard that song. Then discovered I'd known her all along through the Pogue's "Fairytale of New York", a/k/a The Only Honest Christmas Carol Evar, which I'd first heard well over a decade earlier.
