Vernon KayHOST
This is your run on 10 to the Top.
speaker_5NARRATOR
Between 1982 and 1991, Shane McGowan was the lead singer in which Irish band?
Vernon KayHOST
I believe that was the Porgs, Vernon.
Vernon KayHOST
It was the Porgs, yes, for two points.
Adam Tod BrownHOST
And I was like, you didn't fuck that guy with a rotten teeth.
Adam Tod BrownHOST
Shane McGowan.
Adam Tod BrownHOST
Yeah.
Adam Tod BrownHOST
But no, it was the drummer who apparently got her pregnant.
Mike ParkHOST
What I'm saying.
Mike ParkHOST
Anywho, not even supposed to be here says, I was also going to see Shane McGowan and the Popes in 95.
Mike ParkHOST
He canceled the hour before the show.
Mike ParkHOST
I just got general admission tickets to the Interrupters in Boston.
John Joseph DunnGUEST
A lot of people call it Kukulin, and I'm like, no, I'm going to go by the sickbed of Kukulin.
John Joseph DunnGUEST
That's a Pogues song, so I'm going to go with Shane McGowan's pronunciation of it.
John Joseph DunnGUEST
It's Gaelic.
John Joseph DunnGUEST
Yeah, that was my question.
BrentHOST
UK punk scene.
BrentHOST
I had forgotten what an early champion of the band Shane McGowan was.
BrentHOST
He practically got them their first record deal long before he had the clout of being a Pogue.
BrentHOST
Also, speaking about these spiels I've been doing, the jam definitely credit Dr. Feelgood as a major important influence on them.
Mike ParkHOST
Probably listening to the Pogues.
Rick JohnsonHOST
Do you know, not to go on a side quest, I tried to see either Shane McGowan or the Pogues.
Rick JohnsonHOST
Seven.
Rick JohnsonHOST
Close, five.
Alan CrossHOST
Their 17 song set was an inspiration to the young wannabe punks in the audience.
Alan CrossHOST
That included members of the Damned, Adam Ant, Shane McGowan, soon to be singer of the Pogues, and four young women who would almost immediately form the Slits.
Alan CrossHOST
Captain Sensible of the Damned estimates that at least 60 people in the crowd that night went on to do something significant musically in the UK over the coming months and years, which is a pretty good ratio.
Alan CrossHOST
Oh, a little side note.
11 MINS LATER
Alan CrossHOST
Participants could be counted in the hundreds, if that.
Alan CrossHOST
But every one of those people was committed, and most of them were at the 100 Club those two nights.
Alan CrossHOST
That included Paul Weller of The Jam, Shane McGowan again, Chrissy Hynde again, two future members of Bauhaus, Colin Newman of Wire, Viv Albertine of The Slits, and many, many others.
Alan CrossHOST
The promoter was a guy named Ron Watts.
Sophie La ToucheHOST
yeah she's an absolute legend
Anna CliffordHOST
Shane McGowan I'd say, come in, Shane.
Anna CliffordHOST
I know it's so, but will you sing us Fairy Tales of New York? Yeah.
Sophie La ToucheHOST
I just feel like he'd be cold as well.
Michael MeadeGUEST
And so to this day, Irish musicians will talk about receiving inspiration from the other world.
Michael MeadeGUEST
Shane McGowan, who became famous as the leader of the Pogues, which was the Irish punk revival of ancient Irish music through punk, He would literally talk about how he was being inspired during the night or in a certain situation.
Michael MeadeGUEST
So I think it has to do with the connection to the other world.
Michael MeadeGUEST
In the new book, I have a whole chapter called An Other World.
Jón Trausti SigurðarsonHOST
The Pogues, yeah.
Aðalsteinn KjartanssonGUEST
Uh, Shane MacGowan wasn't Irish, though.
Jón Trausti SigurðarsonHOST
Oh.
Aðalsteinn KjartanssonGUEST
He, well, I mean, you know, it depends on how you define it.
