Who ARE these dudes???


The Pogues are a popular Irish-influenced band based in England. They reached international prominence in the 1980s and 1990s before breaking up in 1996. The band began performing together again in 2001, though they have yet to record new music. They merged traditional Irish music with contemporary punk, essentially inventing Celtic Punk. They were also highly influential on the larger Celtic Fusion scene. Frontman Shane MacGowan described their style as "playing Irish music to a young rock audience".

The Pogues were founded in King's Cross, a district in north London, in 1982 as Pogue Mahone – "pogue mahone" being the Anglicisation of the Irish póg mo thóin, meaning "kiss my arse." The band specialised in Irish folk music, often playing with the energy of the punk rock scene from which several of the members had their roots.

Their politically-tinged music was reminiscent of The Clash, with whom they played (Joe Strummer produced one of their albums and even joined the group briefly), and used traditional Irish instruments such as the tin whistle, banjo, cittern, mandolin, accordion, and more. In the later incarnations of the band, after the departure of Shane MacGowan, rock instruments such as the electric guitar would become more prominent. The first of The Pogues' albums, Red Roses for Me borrows much from the punk tradition of MacGowan's previous band The Nipple Erectors (later dubbed The Nips).

Most women don't want their man to solve their problems, they just want him to listen. Its taken me 30 years to figure that out. Putting your arms around her tells her that you love her and that you heard her.

What's wrong with "chick" music? Women do make up more than half of the U.S. population. Men and women obviously appreciate her "other" perspective on issue evident from Ani’s amazing album sales and Righteous Babe Records’ independent success. We’ve been spoon feed the white male take on the world for the past several hundred years, what is wrong with a different voice (unless you are that white man who is very afraid of losing his power …) And most women do cry easier than men as our physiology makes us more emotionally responsive – it does not indicate weakness.

And men getting in touch with their feminine side? What the hell is wrong with that? What is your point?
