““In centuries to come, people may doubt that a man of Shane McGowan’s creative magnificence actually existed. Like the Mermaids, and the Kraken, and the elves of Arcadia. Those, who have seen such things need to make sure we provide valuable first hand testimony. This is our testimony, in recording the song we attempted to invoke the spirits and our memories of Shane, and whack them into one track. We’ll see you on the other side, Shane. You loveable old bastard.” ~ Pete Doherty, The Libertines

Very slightly overstated, I think 😊…but I enjoyed this from Pete Doherty
