Shane McGowan
Long time ago saw Shane McGowan at the Fillmore in San Francisco. Cold, rainy night, took me a half-hour to track down a ticket outside. Walked in, the place was packed. The atmosphere was like a fifth inning in the leftfield bleachers at Wrigley Field. I quickly walked to the bar. The guy next to me had ordered a Jameson, I said, “Give me three of those. I need to catch up.” The show started immediately. For the next hour and half, Shane stood, well wavered, center stage at the mic, with a great band behind him. An exceptional night of music and riotous dancing had by all.
God Love Shane McGowan
