[kj] Killing Joke: Clash influenced?

[sade1]

> found him to be a very intelligent and intersting...



I wonder what kind of education or worldly experience (aka University of Hard-Knox) the guys in The Clash had?  I've never looked into it. 

   Their lyrics sound smart and insightful, but the image to non-connoisseur is that they were but talented street urchins borderline-ruffians, or so i gathered (a looonng time ago..) from the cd liner of their 2-cd hits set.

There, I have exercised 2 of my rights - the right not to be killed (still here), and the right to free speech (no carpal tunnel yet).  Can I have food money now, please?? ("M o r e ? !" -- olivertwist)
 

> human beeing..


He was an apiculturist, and onstage too??

 Changing direction on the Clash though, it's amazing how often on the radio/T.V. that the most oft played tunes are, I Fought The Law and Rock The Casbah, absolute pooh in my book, proper cack!
