That Woman´s Got Me Drinking
Title: That Woman´s Got Me Drinking – The Shane MacGowan Story (Music Video)
Year: 1994
Music by: Shane MacGowan (non-original Music)
Johnny Depp playing: Himself / Drunken Guy
Plot
Music videos and archived footage supplement recent interviews in this documentary of ex-Pogues singer Shane MacGowan. We follow his life from the early days in Ireland and England, through his formation of – and later dismissal from – The Pogues, to his new band The Popes. Shane’s family, friends, and former bandmates comment on the music, the rumors, and the alcohol.
About Shane MacGowan / The Pogues
Shane Patrick Lysaght MacGowan was born 25 December 1957 and is an Irish musician. He is best known for his involvement with “The Pogues” as their original vocalist. MacGowan drew on his Irish heritage to create “The Pogues”, a band that he founded and now sings for, but was away from during a long hiatus during the 1990s. He has written songs that many consider of astonishing beauty, though their lyricism is sometimes obscured by the quick, rough performance and folk-punk sound of the band, as well as his slurred voice. Many of his songs are influenced by Irish nationalism, Irish history, the experiences of the Irish in London and in London life in general.
The Pogues are a popular Anglo Irish folk rockband of the 1980s and 1990s. They have a strong following,

Plot
In the second season premiere of the TV show “This American Life”, hosted by Ira Glass, escaping is the main theme. People who try escaping from a place, people who try living independently. Mike Phillips, a 27-year-old suffering from spinal muscular atrophy, a disease which has eliminated his ability to move his limbs, has the same wish. He wants to have own life, a life like anyone else has a chance to have, as he states. Because he lost his ability to speak, due to a breathing tube inserted in his neck, he communicates typing out the words on a 17-inch Macbook Pro laptop suspended above his bed. He types words letter-by-letter with his thumb across a cylindrical switch connected to a CD-sized box on his bed, sending the completed sentence through a voice simulator. In the beggining of the episode, the host asks Mike who he would like to read his e-mails in the story, replacing the voice simulator. Mike says that he would like Johnny Depp or Edward Norton, because either way, they are both badasses. And, by his request, because Edward Norton was not available, the kind and always willing to help – the one and only Johnny Depp,
