Pullin’ ‘Tubes: St. Paddy’s Day Edition

Happy St. Paddy’s Day everyone! When I was a kid it was all about Shamrock Shakes and green bagels – that’s how we Jews celebrated it at least. These days it’s all about trying to find the least obnoxious bar to throw back a few pints of Guinness, while I try to block out all the U2 that is blasting from the jukebox.

While we could go with some Van the Man, Damien Rice or The Frames, we went in a different direction. We thought something from the world’s ugliest front man – Shane MacGowan – and his band of traditional Irish folk-rockers The Pogues – really encapsulated the spirit of the day:

MacGowan and Co. are wrapping up their run at New York’s Roseland Ballroom tonight with William Elliot Whitmore and Ollin. Tickets are still available.
