The story of The Pogues has been as riotous as their most rabble-rousing songs. From the streets of 80s London the Celtic Punks unleashed their hellraising 20-year career and in the process became legends; mythic troubadours whose popularity endures. This Omnibus Enhanced edition of Kiss My Arse has been revamped with an interactive digital timeline which paints the journey of The Pogues with videos and images of live performances, interviews, memorabilia and more. Also included is an integrated Spotify playlist containing the band’s greatest performances. To tell their story author Carol Clerk has interviewed Shane MacGowan, Spider Stacy, Jem Finer, Andrew Ranken, James Fearnley, Cait O'Riordan, and a clutch of associates, friends and fans. All paint a picture of a fiercely loyal group of musicians, their arguments and drunken spats, their love affairs, the drugs, the hirings and the firings, the marriages and deaths… but, above all, the music. This is their story, bared for all.

This book was not written for the purpose of causing contention between the different races. The book does not imply that slavery was joyful by no means rather it illustrates that all has not been told. In the hearts of all people there is bad but deep down inside we still can find some good. When most people hear the word slavery they become resentful and shameful. Many tend to hold contention in their hearts. Friends, its time for us to get passed our past lives and take a good look at what God has set in front of us. As you sit down and begin reading this tale uou are adjured to please read it slowly. The words chosen in the pages of this book have been prayerfully chosen. The story itself has a deep southern flavor with a tantalizing southern slave language. Whether youre young or old, this books language must be digested one word at a time and its meaning needs to be digested slowly. Many of the lines youll read have taken years to present in written form. Many of the words are extremely expressed for your deepest attention and awakening knowledge. Some of the tales and events really happened to many of the authors relatives.

The book is a fictional-historical story about a young boy who is in the wrong place at the wrong time. He lived with his family on a beautiful farm in Currituck, North Carolina. But in 1861, his state became the enemy of the United States, and the Yankee army was coming toward his farm. His father knew he had to protect his son from this war. His decision set his young son on a course that few men would ever travel. The son in this book is based on my great-grandfather, Patrick Henry Morgan. It is a story based on true historical events and is told by Patrick as he lived it. Patrick left his farm in 1862 to begin his schooling at Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia. His father pulled some strings to get him accepted. His father had lost five of his eleven children to disease, and he did not want his oldest to die in war. Patrick takes us through his time at VMI (1862-1864). Patrick discovers quickly that VMI is not for the faint of heart. He tells many stories about his time at VMI, some bad and some happy, but mostly funny. Patrick takes the reader through his part of the Battle of New Market. After the battle, the glory of the victory quickly faded as the realization that many of his friends had died or were wounded. He ended up in Richmond, digging defensive positions while waiting for the Yankees to attack. The Confederates surrendered at Richmond and his quest to get home. He and four other cadets with five dollars between them traveled 200 miles through Yankee-occupied territory to finally make it home. He helped his community and state by becoming a lawyer, a State Senator of North Carolina, a superintendent of the Lifesaving Service that became the United States Coast Guard in 1915, and much more. Patrick takes the reader along with him as he helps rebuild his state and tells the stories of meeting incredible men and women along with some famous people who changed the world. All based on true events and people with a few assumptions to make a good story.
