Punk rockers, hip-hoppers
Brit poppers, show stoppers
Beboppers, hair droppers
Are you ready to sing?

If you don’t want to be treated like trash you need to start by not acting like trash. Dress respectable. Act good. Treat others with kindness and respect. This is the first step towards being treated good. Joe strummer learned this lesson eventually. But in his youth he was treated like trash cuz he wanted people to treat him like trash. Cuz that’s how young people roll.
Yes, in their youth they were rebels and punk rockers, so trash was their comfort zone
And they were investigated quite a few times, because of how hard it was to understand some of their lyrics
One of the many lessons Andy has taught his daughter Artemis is the question & answer
"Who is the only band that matters?" - The Clash - she knew this at age 3
They truly are one of the best bands ever and had such a significant impact on my musical tastes
London Calling is one of the best albums of all time
And I spent many a cold night listening to Sandinista with the headphones on in Laramie
You know how certain bands music reminds you of happy times throughout your life?
The Clash's music is that way for me, it has bobbed and weaved its way through my life and always will
Plus Joe Strummer's solo career was amazing, with his final album a masterpiece
Mick Jones in Big Audio Dynamite had some great tunes too
Joe and Mick were both extremely talented, but what gave them such a unique sound and feel was Topper
His drumming was so versatile and the different rhythms he could muster were absolutely brilliant
I could go on for quite awhile about these blokes, but I'll stop for now ~ do me a favor though
Next time you get a chance, put on London Calling and give it a listen
Oh I listen the shit out of London Calling. One of the best albums and one of the best songs ever. In fact the opening cords of London Calling was my ringtone for a couple of years. And as you know Shareef Don't Like It.
