The Pogues & Kirsty McColl Fairytale Of New York
I suppose this has to be the greatest Christmas song of all time, so I'm posting it before someone else does. There's not a lot to say about Shane MacGowan, and probably far too much to say about the very sad (and suspicious) demise of poor Kirsty MacColl. She had the most beautiful voice.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME ..........

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
I recommend, when finished, that you click on 'Up Next' (where it says You're a bum. You're a punk) and read, and sing-along to, the words.
ReplyDeleteSorry Cro - I've always hated this one - I'd rather listen to Bing Crosby or Nat King Cole (and that's saying something).
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed!
ReplyDeleteI don't get it either Cro...those lyrics are just plain nasty.
ReplyDeleteI love the Pogues!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite Christmas songs. Makes me want to do a little jig
ReplyDeleteI don't really like it. Sorry Cro. I appreciate that it's different than what I'd normally listen to though. Anyway, just not my style.
ReplyDeleteLooks like I'm out-voted.
