Don't ask how, or why- just accept Shane is Shane….

When I first hear The Pogues over 20 years ago, I was drawn to their unique blend of rock 'n roll that included punk, pop, Irish traditionals, and everything in between. But there was this front-man, Shane MacGowan, who had a knack for making growls and grumbles sound painfully beautiful.

He could have you slamming, whiskey bottle in hand, one moment, and writing a letter to your long lost love the next moment. What makes this guy tick? Or better yet, how does this artist still alive? If these are questions you've asked, this documentary gives us a glimpse into another side of Shane MacGowan- as well as some more expected sides of Shane.

Shane likes his drinks. So if you have just quit drinking, this documentary may not be something you want to watch- you may find yourself inside of a bottle by the end of the movie. As a fan of the Pogues and MacGowan, this film was a must see. There are some classic performances, and some intimate interviews with Shane and those who have known him the longest- including his family!
