THE POGUES, BY THE GRACE OF GOD
“I was in London talking to a friend of mine,” recounts Joe Strummer, clutching a bottle of beer, “and I decided that it would be good to give up drinking for a few months. Then I went home and the phone rang, and it was (Pogues manager) Frank Murray asking me if I wanted to go on tour with the Pogues on Saturday.”
