Love finds a way. Its an old clich. The thing about clichs, though, is that they are based in truth.

After Ingrid and Viktor marry in Norway, there was no way they were going to wait another year before returning to Viktors home in Minnesota. If it works, it would be a brilliant, low-cost scheme.

Here Comes Everybody
Author: James Fearnley
Publisher: Chicago Review Press
ISBN: 1556529503
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
“Everything a really great music memoir should be.” —Colin Meloy The Pogues injected the fury of punk into Irish folk music and gave the world the troubled, iconic, darkly romantic songwriter Shane MacGowan. Here Comes Everybody is a memoir written by founding member and accordion player James Fearnley, drawn from his personal experiences and the series of journals and correspondence he kept throughout the band’s career. Fearnley describes the coalescence of a disparate collection of vagabonds living in the squats of London’s Kings Cross, with, at its center, the charismatic MacGowan and his idea of turning Irish traditional music on its head. With beauty, lyricism, and great candor, Fearnley tells the story of how the band watched helplessly as their singer descended into a dark and isolated world of drugs and drink, and sets forth the increasingly desperate measures they were forced to take. James Fearnley was born in 1954 in Worsley, Manchester. He played guitar in various bands, including The Nips with Shane MacGowan, before becoming the accordion player in The Pogues. Fearnley continues to tour with the band and lives in Los Angeles.

Book Description
I chuckled quite a few times reading these stories and imagining Grandpa telling them. Eric Gilbertson MIT 2008, 2010 Grandpa's book is fun to read. It's just amazing all that Grandpa went through as a line man on the telephone company. It makes hiking up Mount Washington in January seem like hiking along the beach. Matthew Gilbertson MIT 2008, 2010 Grandpa doesn't talk about the fighting during the World War II. He talks about the many towns he went through and the people he met. He thinks more about the good things and experiences rather than dwelling on any bad ones he might have had. Jacob Gilbertson St Vincent College 2012
