The Pogues played New York City last night.
Saint Patrick's Day, colloquially St. Paddy's Day or Paddy's Day, is an annual feast day which celebrates Saint Patrick (circa 385–461 AD), one of the patron saints of Ireland, and is generally celebrated on March 17.
The date of the feast is occasionally moved by church authorities when March 17 falls during Holy Week; this happened in 1940 when Saint Patrick's Day was observed on 3 April in order to avoid it coinciding with Palm Sunday, and is happening again in 2008, being observed on 15 March (though the State holiday in Ireland is not affected). March 17 will not fall during Holy Week again until 2160.
The Pogues play the Roseland tonight (with Billy Bragg) and tomorrow, which is not - but kind of is - St. Paddy's Day........

I just got back from the Sunday night show. Awesome! Way better than I had even hoped for. Same setlist as above I think. Billy Bragg was pretty cool although Roseland is kinda large for a solo perf.

It sounds good, I love the simplicity. Your posts are easy as a pie and really attractive at the same time.

Yeah, but never the less, I think this post is debatable.
