Who is he? He looks like death on two legs.

Shane McGowan, leader of the Irish punk band "The Pogues". Yeah, he's still alive; just had his 54th birthday last Sunday (Christmas). Surely you all know "Fairytale of New York"? It's like the most popular Christmas song in the UK and Ireland.

Always one of my favourites. Unfortunately, Kirsty MacColl, is no longer with us.

I know who he is and "Fairytale" is my all time favourite Christmas song, I just wondered if he survives his rather questionable life-style, bless him.
Happy 2012 BTW - you missed my nod to Mr Thomas this year.
