Video Of The Week: The Pogues

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

As is customary at this time of year, when winter is forced to disappear a bit a melting snow mixes with dirt to make for a cold, dirty, grey mushy substance that aims to make humans fall flat on their faces or asses, particularly if they drank too much, the soundtrack of the day is loaded with Celtic content and, more often than not, The Pogues end up being the most played band, despite their being a London-based band with Englishmen in it.

While I missed the St. Patrick's Day parade last Sunday that involved at least one loony, drunk 20-year old, I am celebrating the day by drinking a few Kilkennys, the beverage of champions, and playing NHL10 and getting into many fights.

Plus, I woke up this morning with a headache, induced likely from drinking too much last night.

All in all, neither a loss nor a cliché-free post from me.

And the second Holiday in a row that I use a Pogues song as Song Of The Week... Pogue Mahone (i.e. póg mo thóin)!
