Fairytale of New York
<t>Just caught the Pogues with Shane MacGowan (what's left of him) in San Francisco - they ended the show with Fairytale, and Ella Finer (Jem Finer's daughter) did a fantastic job with Kirsty's part...<br/> <br/> Dancing with Shane and "snow" falling onstage to close the show was pretty moving to sa...

Most fun live band...
Changing my vote: Just saw the Pogues with Shane MacGowan (how he outlived Joe Strummer is beyond me) at the Fillmore in San Francisco this week. Unbelievable... Catch it before he's gone - but then again, could have offered that advice 15 years ago...

I'm going with the Barenaked Ladies from Canada - great musicians bordering on a comedy show.

Not your favorite band you've seen live, but the live band that really impressed you...

Better Cover Versions
<t>Great topic - thinking of songs redone so well people associate the song with the band or found a diamond in the rough and made it shine.<br/> <br/> Always loved the Clash's raw version of "I Fought The Law" by one of Buddy Holly's Crickets, Sonny Curtis, made popular later by Bobby Fuller.<br/> ...

Title change... Incense and peppermint
<t>Do you mean "Incense and Peppermints" maybe? Don't watch the show, so just guessing. The only peppermint song I know - was in one of the Austin Powers' movies.<br/> <br/> I & P was done by the Strawberry Alarm Clock (how high were they to agree on that name?) in 1967. Only thing I know about ...

<t>When I say English I mean all those Scottish, Irish, great London comics... they speak English better way better than we do here.<br/> <br/> As weird as he thinks - Eddie Izzard continues to tell the truth about political matters - he's a guy, right?<br/> <br/> American comics here are towing the...

CD you are ashamed of owning?

<t>My favorite "dead list" is obviously led by Bill Hicks. Died in 1994 at age 32, bigger in the U.K. than the States, but he was the first comic I heard tell the truth, make me cringe and laugh on a different level. A comedian's comedian - the greatest compliment...<br/> <br/> Lenny Bruce, Sam Kini...
