Martin Scorsese on meeting The Clash; Tymon Dogg's 'Lose this Skin'; "Raging Bull", etc.

Dork.

[deegeekay]

He really should have documented the occasion.

Great man

Go back to idolizing Eminem and Metallica you pathetic poser.

[johnsain]

The beginning of the end of any credibility for the Clash.

They never would've admitted this meeting at the time to their 'fans',....that should tell you something.

@johnsain

Oh shut up you tart.

[relaxingmusic101]

@johnsain Yeah what the hell are you talking about? Joe dressed like Travis from Scorsese's movie Taxi Driver. Nothing wrong with Scorsese, he makes awesome movies about real shit instead of manufactured worthlessness.

[k1ssinger]

@johnsain If their fans would have been pissed off by the news that would be their problem. Nothing wrong with Scorsese. No point hating him because he's not punk.

@k1ssinger Taxi Driver is punk as fuck

[salmonico]

@johnsain Dude, The Clash did a cameo on The King of Comedy, a 1983 Scorsese film. I can't see why they would lose credibility for meeting a hollywood director, they probably did drugs. Fun times.

[pazuzu94533]

@johnsain What a puzzling comment. The Clash were fans of Martin Scorsese's. They used some of Travis Bickle's dialogue from "Taxi Driver" in the song Red Angel Dragnet.

That would be an interesting scene to put in one of his movies, lol

Marty always has had good music taste!

Thanks for putting this up.
