I have seen the Pogues live many times. Shane was always slugging out of a bottle of whiskey. My favorite show opening was North of Boston years ago. They were an hour late coming on stage and I thought they were not going to show. Shane walks up to the mic and says, "I think I just pissed myself, " and the music kicked in. I would like to think that he was not part of their hive.
