| "Hackles were raised in Glasgow last week by the revelation that Shane MacGowan is writing a song about Bible John, Scotland’s most infamous serial killer. As the case remains active, relatives of the victims have complained about MacGowan’s untimely promotion of a song which could be seen as glamorising the killer. However, some MacGowan fans are likely to be no less alarmed by the news that he’s co-writing the song with Joey Cashman, the former Pogues tour manager. Last year, a group of MacGowan’s friends and admirers, headed by his father Maurice, circulated a petition demanding that Cashman be dismissed from his role as McGowan’s “personal assistant” because of what they perceived as his undue influence." Times OnLine - 16/01/2005 |
| Cashman said: "The song is still at the early development stage, and if it is good enough it will probably be on his next album and maybe part of the (live) set in the next couple of months. "I came across the story by accident and researched it a bit and that's when I got Shane involved. "I've worked with him for 19 years and it's the first song we've worked on together. "Shane was interested because of the killer's name, because the killer used to pick up his victims from the Barrowlands, and the fact that it all remains unsolved". The Herald - 14/01/2005 |
