I would've loved to have been a fly on the wall during that session. 
You think Shane and Steve shared a couple of chemicals?

I was lucky to see the Pogues on the "If I Should Fall From 
Grace..." tour and it's still one of the best live shows I've ever seen. 
Shane was also the drunkest musician I've ever seen, but he was 
still pretty coherent compared to what he is now.
