#6 Shane MacGowan and the Making of The Pogue's "Fairytale of New York"

In this episode, we take a trip down memory lane to New York City in the 80s where we explore the story behind The Pogue's Christmas classic "Fairytale of New York" and the making of the music video, the controversy behind the lyrics, and receive lessons in story creation from one of the best songwriters in music history.

Wishing you all a happy holiday!

Special thanks to my dad, John Schalhoub, who taught me how to play and study music.
