[kj] Killing Joke: Clash influenced?

[Darren A. Peace]

Heh!

 

Weren't they public (fee-paying, for any septics reading) schoolboys?

 

Strummer, certainly, was the son of a diplomat with a boarding-school
education:

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!

.........well, i wouldnt say absolute pooh, but yeah, the most 'popular'
clash songs are some of the weakest!

jamming, know your rights, etc etc etc !
