| S.V. | WTF??? Say it's not true. Is this a fallacy in the name of shameless promotion?? Or is academia taking over MWPR? What's up? Will the McG's play on? - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 8:12pm | ||
| Anonymous | Who knows, everyone will have to be at Logan's on Friday 13th to find out. - Tue, 3 Jun 2003 12:00pm | ||

| Luke Puke | Are you sure he's only 40? - Tue, 3 Jun 2003 12:05pm | ||
| Shane McGowan | I thought he was 140, afterall me an him used to play pool together at the Owen in London. - Tue, 3 Jun 2003 12:53pm | ||
| Ian McG User Info... | Well, as a member of the band, I can give you the official word, as it was all sorted out at practice last night. Yes Mike is officially retiring from his duties. The McGillicuddys will continue, and we have a MWPR approved replacement to take over the duties he's retiring from. So get down to Logan's on Friday the 13th and see what's up? - Wed, 4 Jun 2003 1:37pm | ||
| Anonymous | Sounds to me like you kicked the old bastard out of the band. - Wed, 4 Jun 2003 7:08pm | ||
| Anonymous | the old dude that sang, i am glad he is gone, he looked so sad one stage durring bandfes, like he knew his days were numbered - Wed, 4 Jun 2003 8:25pm | ||
| Joshy Atomic | I saw the Mcgillicuddy's with Mike singing his tunes out a while back and I am not moved by alot of bands, most of them just tend to be a bunch of boring mediocres but that band and singer defintley aren't. As soon as I finshed watching them Mike and I had a good chat about music and it pains me to think that guy is giving it up. I wanted to help em out on that last tour they did but it all fell through on my side, (cause the west coast sucks). Anyways, he probably won't remember me at all but Ian, Tell him I wish him the best and I think it's shit that a guy that has so much ability and heart is giving up. love joshy - Wed, 4 Jun 2003 8:50pm | ||
| Anonymous | Hey two anon dudes, are you just bitchy cuz he did yer moms back in the day? - Wed, 4 Jun 2003 11:03pm | ||
| Anonymous | No, but I bet you're a splitting image of Mike. Almost like a son.Hmmmmmmmm. - Thu, 5 Jun 2003 1:14am | ||
| Anonymous | The sad part about it is that Mike IS the McGillicuddys. Do they have some other gnarly old celtpunk waiting in the wings? - Thu, 5 Jun 2003 4:41pm | ||
| Anonymous | Hehe gnarly olc celtpunk, I like it - Thu, 5 Jun 2003 7:24pm | ||

| Anonymous | I knew that old bastard was up to something! It's another Sparky Logan gag eh? I'm goin anyway the band is a riot! - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 11:46am | ||
| Ian McG User Info... | 7 days till the hard earned (snigger, snigger) retirement. - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 1:49pm | ||
| Anonymous | Just like the new Mckenzies song: All the old guys, all the old punks, All the old guys, they' re dropping like flies." - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 4:08pm | ||
| Anonymous | Just saw this on the live music listings, and had to post it here, pretty funny stuff. Decades of punk rock debauchery have left MWPR with the liver of Shane McGowan, the ears of Pete Townsend and the beer goggles of Bubbles. The crusty bastard took his last kick at the keg on a farewell tour of Canada this spring and has decided to hang up his Gibson in pursuit of greener pastures. Witness the last show ever of the 5th member of the Pistols, the drunkest member of Goon Squad and lest he be not a Forgotten Rebel. Amen. - Fri, 6 Jun 2003 6:16pm | ||

| Randy Chaos | Who says he was the drunkest member of Goon Squad??!!!!....I think it was Joe T. - Mon, 9 Jun 2003 2:40am | ||

| Anonymous | I love the poster for this show, saw it in the window at Thursdays. A picture of 5 old, obviously Irish or Scottish, guys standing in a field, outside a pub, and the caption reads "Putting the old Punk out to pasture" - Mon, 9 Jun 2003 6:59pm | ||
| Anonymous | Yeah, past it this morning, pretty funny - Tue, 10 Jun 2003 1:51pm | ||
| Anonymous | his new name should be MRNW - Mike Rocker Needs a Walker - Tue, 10 Jun 2003 2:02pm | ||

| dumbass | someone please explain this to me...no wait- I'll have to go the show to find out right? - Thu, 12 Jun 2003 10:34pm | ||
| Ty Stranglehold User Info... | The Hoosegow are now opening up the show. We'll have to send Mike out in style... Broken, aged, punk style! - Thu, 12 Jun 2003 11:18pm | ||
| Anonymous | this doesn't make any sense to me. isn't mike the main guy and the one who writes all the originals and stuff? he is the main focus of the band, as far as i was always concerned. - Thu, 12 Jun 2003 11:56pm | ||
| Jillymcgillicuddy | nice one anon/Mike but we know it's all about the Accordion! - Fri, 13 Jun 2003 12:00am | ||

| Anonymous | You mean Oi! Oi!vay - Fri, 13 Jun 2003 6:49pm | ||
| Lurker User Info... | I second the girls in plaid comment. If the McGillicuddys lost Jilly in her fishnets then it just wouldn't be worth going to see. - Fri, 13 Jun 2003 8:26pm | ||
