One of the guests on the record are, of course, DROPKICK MURPHYS.
They picked The Body Of An American from the Pogues’ masterpiece LP
Rum, Sodomy and The Lash
Rolling Stone says: ‘The Body of an American’ is a masterpiece of contradictions. One of the realest songs ever written about immigration, also one of the best funeral songs, also one of the best drinking songs. But it’s also the realest song about leaving home and laughing it off, when you know in your heart you’ll never return and you’ll never get over the true love you left behind and you’ll never truly have a home again”.
Sing, drink, cry, smile and party.
