Johnny
Depp Praises Pogue Poet
11/28/05
Screen star Johnny Depp has hailed alcohol-fuelled punk singer Shane
MacGowan as a poet of our time.
The Pogues front man, famed for his rotting teeth and drunken rampages,
has charmed the movie icon with his lyrics - which include the romantic
gem, "You scumbag, you maggot, you great lousy faggot" from
festive anthem Fairytale of New York.
Depp enthuses, "His intake has been pretty impressive over the
years.
"But he has produced some of the most beautiful lyrics that are a
great gift to the world."
