I gave it an 8 at some point in the very distant past. It's a 6, now.
I thought it was Rock & Roll Girls by John Fogerty, which is a pretty lame song but better than this.

If I had to vote for the most bogus, worthless criticism of all time, it would easily fall to the "simple melody" or "accessible music" bullshit argument that is peddled here and everywhere, ad nasuem. I HATE that argument. If it is so simple, then go make one. No, try making four or five. If you do, you'll be a billionare and world famous within one month, I promise. Thousands of artists try to make a song like this their whole careers and never make just one. Doesn't that tell you anything? Sorry to pick on you, Stingy, but this argument is so bad, so stupid, so f-ing common and vulgar and repeated by the masses, that I have to rant. Whew, got that off my chest.

Shane McGowan is not singing in this album, the whole album is a little too commercial related to previous ones, but a couple of songs are sooooo good, and this is one of those... Too many sundays... Too many tuesday mornings... Doesn't get out of my mind.

The Pogues, Oxegen Festival 2008, Ireland.
They have long been one of my favourite bands, it was an honor to see them play because you never know when the legend that is Shane McGowan will be no longer. This shot was taken from stage right (VIP passes come in handy!)

Even though it's Monday morning—or maybe especially cause it's Monday morning here — thanks for this play, as the song is one of my all time favourites . A great boost for the day!

It's true. But I'm still happy whenever Bill plays anything from the Pogues. |

Then Led Zepplin. And the Black Sabbath.
And now Porcupine Tree.
What a great kid to have.
