Most of the movie is Shane talking to a few different people over a drink or two. He is definitely not well and it is like watching someone in hospital on their last days.
I can understand Shane and his wife wanting to share a few more stories and it does seem like many of the songs and the whole updating of Irish folk that the Pogues were part of has been under rated. It was good to hear about that but It is hard to watch.
Fairytale of New York is a great song but you know what I"ve never listened to the whole thing and never tried to decipher what it is about. It has always been just a few fragments of heartfelt emotion that seems to fit together well and it seems like commercially it did the trick for Shane and his band.
I'n glad I have a bit more background but fear Shane is not long for this world.
