Is Shameless like the black spot?

#

Started by Daisy in Chit-Chat

Joey Dunlop, George Best, and now Alex ‘Hurricane’ Higgens. All dead. All named on Shameless.

The conspiracy starts here…Surely just a coincidence?

I’m ashamed to say I don’t know who Joey Dunlop is, but Best and Higgins were raging alkies so I don’t think their premature deaths came as a great surprise to anyone :-)

Joey Dunlop was the motorbike racer who died on the track in a crash, Sam :)

A Northern Irish legend, like Higgins and Best

Sounds like a terrible film plot.

So the album is a black spot in terms of namechecks and T?’s career?

Didn’t Ozzy Osbourne have a thing like that on one of his albums?

He wrote Perry Mason and the actor who’d played him died, then there was one about LA and the riots kicked off.

And I think there was a song on there about his son, and his son grew up to be a knobhead.

See, don’t write songs if you don’t want to jinx people

Here’s to David Cameron being named on Shameless II.
