High Acetate Vol. 2 - Shane MacGowan Dreams of Whiskey

 Volume 2 of my High Acetate series. A rumination on controversial Celtic punk figurehead Shane MacGowan — a storyteller, a historian, an embodiment of the ethos of punk rock both as counter cultural, anti-authoritarian performance as well as iconoclastic, individualist ideology. Yet MacGowan was also steeped in tradition, his whole oeuvre wrestled with his place in a musical and cultural lineage that stretched back through whiskey-soaked centuries. Often he quite literally referenced his predecessors and wove their stories into his own.

These are his dreams of whiskey.
