We should all aspire to have our mourners dancing in the aisles at our funeral. One would have to imagine that Shane MacGowan of the Pogues would have it no other way.
Glen Hansard, Lisa O'Neill, and others sent MacGowan off in fine fashion, playing "Fairytale of New York" in a church in Nenagh, County Tipperary, Ireland.
"I'm just following the Irish way of life: Cram as much pleasure as you can into life and rail against the pain that you have to suffer as a result -- and then wait for it to be taken away with beautiful pleasure."
Slainte in the memory of the Irish Rover ...
