The Pogues - Thousands Are Sailing

Pogues' guitarist Philip Chevron died from cancer yesterday, only 56 years old. I want to salute him by playing "Thousands Are Sailing", the wonderful song he wrote for the band's third album, If I Should Fall From Grace With God, released in 1988. It's a song about the Irish immigration to America and the title could of course work quite well in wishing Chevron a safe passage to wherever he's going. May he rest in peace.
