The Pogues, "Bottle of Smoke"

One of those public personages who, when they die, the common comment concerns surprise at how long they managed to live.

Shane MacGowan has died, age 65.

A classic three-album run with The Pogues his enduring legacy. This number a good example of his songcraft and the band's way with a tune.

"Twenty-fucking-five to one, Me gambling days are done. I bet on a horse called the Bottle of Smoke, And my horse won."

aav.

I rather prefer the alternate cover, with its multiplicity of Joycean figures.

The Pogues were an English or Anglo-Irish Celtic punk band fronted by Shane MacGowan and others, founded in King's Cross, London, in 1982, as Pogue Mahone—an anglicisation by James Joyce of the Irish phrase póg mo thóin, meaning "kiss my arse

Tá brón orm d'Albain. Neamhspleáchas ó Shasana! Alba gu bàth, agus Érinn go brách!

(I am sad for Scotland. Independence from England! Scotland forever, and Ireland forever!)

The UK government has now said Scotland cannot hold a referendum to gain independence without "approval" from Westminster. Did y'all get "approval" from Alba, Cymru, and Éire to forcefully occupy their lands, kill their people, and try to erase their culture and language? Did y'all get "approval" to steal the Crown Jewels from Dunnottar Castle? Did y'all get "approval" to displace thousands of Irish and cause one of the largest diasporas in the 19th century?

I have tried so, so bloody hard to not let the history between Ireland and England color my view of current day England, but when they pull shit like this it's hard to not take it personally. When Scots, Gaeilge, Gaelic, and Cymraeg are all dying languages that were forcefully beaten out of children, it's hard not to take it personally.

I hope one day i reach a point in my life where I never have to speak this disgusting language of my family's oppressors and that i can live in a whole, reunited Éire and speak the mother tongue my family spoke for generations.

I hate the UK government with a burning passion. If Alba wants independence, then trust me, she will get it. And so will Cymru and Éire and then what will you do? Póg mo thóin!

- Waits till the night before to start his essays

Bilingual Steve Rogers raised by an Irish mother in Brooklyn would of course use his second language with people around him.

He'd say, "póg mo Éireannach-Meiriceánach thóin," with a kind smile.

Bucky, who'd heard that beautiful phrase before, would just shrug at whoever it was directed at, "it's a compliment, I swear."
