Over the years I've tried to keep an eye out for occasions when the Pogues were mentioned in other songs or in other literary works (rather than mentions in news accounts). I've arranged them in no particular order. If anyone has others, please send them along to: fmoran @ poguetry.com. Thanks!

But his books can bleed together in your head, the way the songs on the classic Pogues record 'Rum, Sodomy and the Lash' might if you'd fallen asleep to the album and found it still playing, loudly, the next hung-over morning." |
