13 years ago he left us.  Can't believe it was that long ago.  Love the Clash (also, if you have Pandora and love Clash, Roots Reggae, Bowie, etc, then start a Clash Radio).

 

So, wanted to post some of his words and music in here.  Please do the same

Ghetto Defendant

 

His biography is well worth a read even just for silly trivia such as how he used to build a bunker in the studios as his creative space.

I think London Calling is the best and most rounded album, is pretty close to musical perfection for me.

That's crazy I was watching YouTube videos of him last night

Maybe start a thread for best opening track on any album because for me it will always be Janie Jones.

you ever watch the film: High Fidelity?

 

I love Jennie Jones as an opener too.  Interesting, on CD the opened was Clash City Rocker.  Not sure why they changed it

Yes but like most adaptations not as good as the book. The Damned United another recent example.
