At his funeral Friday, Ireland's punk-poet-bard was remembered for his genius, faith, compassion, and love, thru music, spontaneous dancing, colorful eulogies, and one unforgettable homily.
I didn’t get the chance to watch the livestream due to work deadlines, but I’ve read accounts and obituaries and reflections in recent days and your write up was a beautiful way to sit and muse in quiet before listening to the ruckus sun and wonder of Rum, Sodomy and The Lash for the first time in years.
Just always find a well written article to be time well spent. This is one is as deep as the well researched people in the story. We need to take our time and read an entire story and be instep in hearing the words of the punk poet laureate, Shane Macgowan’s with the authors well developed understanding of the story.
