<t>Just caught the Pogues with Shane MacGowan (what's left of him) in San Francisco - they ended the show with Fairytale, and Ella Finer (Jem Finer's daughter) did a fantastic job with Kirsty's part...<br/>
<br/>
Dancing with Shane and "snow" falling onstage to close the show was pretty moving to ...

Changing my vote: Just saw the Pogues with Shane MacGowan (how he outlived Joe Strummer is beyond me) at the Fillmore in San Francisco this week. Unbelievable... Catch it before he's gone - but then again, could have offered that advice 15 years ago...

Filmed in San Francisco It's probably the best introduction to him. <br/>

....Eddie likes ladies clothes, he's hetro, but a bit strange in the dress code department....if you catch my drift<br/>

I'm going with the Barenaked Ladies from Canada - great musicians bordering on a comedy show.

Not your favorite band you've seen live, but the live band that really impressed you...

<t>Great topic - thinking of songs redone so well people associate the song with the band or found a diamond in the rough and made it shine.<br/>

Always loved the Clash's raw version of "I Fought The Law" by one of Buddy Holly's Crickets, Sonny Curtis, made popular later by Bobby Fuller.<br ...

<t>Do you mean "Incense and Peppermints" maybe? Don't watch the show, so just guessing. The only peppermint song I know - was in one of the Austin Powers' movies.<br/>

I & P was done by the Strawberry Alarm Clock (how high were they to agree on that name?) in 1967. Only thing I know about it ...

<t>When I say English I mean all those Scottish, Irish, great London comics... they speak English better way better than we do here.<br/>

As weird as he thinks - Eddie Izzard continues to tell the truth about political matters - he's a guy, right?<br/>

<t>The original Outlaws of Comedy came from Austin, TX - Sam, Bill, and there was a little known TX blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughn dominating the scene then...<br/>

Bill Hicks was the most seditious, offensive, impassioned and rigeous comic of his ...

<t>Color me guilty, but I carry ABBA on the road with me and hide it before my friends go through my case...<br/>

"There's an empty space here between A-Ha and AC/DC... You weren't listening to ABBA were you?" I back off with my hands in the air...<br/>

<t>My favorite "dead list" is obviously led by Bill Hicks. Died in 1994 at age 32, bigger in the U.K. than the States, but he was the first comic I heard tell the truth, make me cringe and laugh on a different level. A comedian's comedian - the greatest compliment...<br/>

Lenny Bruce, Sam ...

The moving kind, not superheroes in magazines...
