A drink with Shane MacGowan

Life according to the cofounder of the Pogues, and legendary wild man. Structured as a series of interviews with his wife, MacGowan narrates hilarious stories and riffs on a wide range of subjects—life on the road, Irish history and politics, literature, film, religion, his own substance abuse, growing up in rural Ireland, moving to London in the 70s as punk was breaking, the success of the Pogues, and his abrupt departure from the band.
