Ringo Says Fuck Off 6: Shane McGowan
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 19 December 2008
Okay, this week’s Ringo story is perhaps the least surprising of any we’ve had so far, but it is somewhat festive – the man in question having penned the greatest Christmas song ever recorded, ‘Fairytale Of New York’. So, without further a do, here is the Ringo Says Fuck Off Christmas Special.
A reader writes: “I used to be a promoter at a venue in Sheffield. The Pogues did a blinding gig and I went backstage to say how fantastic they were, to which Shane McGowan said ‘fuck off’. Ah well, he had impressively colourful teeth at close range”.
Have you ever been told to fuck off by a pop star? Perhaps it happened at a New Year party. Email your stories to peaceandlove@unlimitedmedia.co.uk.
