2/2 Shane said he wrote a song for them while they were (wrongly) imprisoned, ‘Streets of Sorrow’, which the BBC of course banned. The money from the song went towards their legal costs. It was a beautiful moment to witness. What a beautiful soul 🇮🇪 #ShaneMacGowan

1/2 I was with Shane MacGowan one day in a London hotel when he saw two men walking down the street outside. He jumped up and beckoned them in - they were Paddy Hill and Gerry Conlon. Shane ordered tea and after they left I asked him why they became emotional when they saw him.

When I hear someone repeat the racist trope that Israel "made the desert bloom" I think about how Israel literally wiped hundreds of agrarian Palestinian villages, which had been sustaining on their own farming techniques for centuries, off the map.

@GrantSana Smirnoff mule in the mid to late nineties was huge in our run and a painful pickling from a Mon night in the marine tavern on vodka and Reef-notorrious! 🥳😂
