Why didn't they let Mick sing his song? You don't ask a legend on stage and then just let him strum a few chords!!! They should've let him sing lead as well as play lead!
Casbyhockeyballs is right, it was originally written by Joe Strummer while in the 101ers, but was adjusted and re-written with Jones during the days of the Clash.
ermm no it wasnt mate if was written by joe when he was in his prevous band the 101s and mike liked it so much he asked joe if he could use it for the clash sets yes he did change a few of the lyrics but it was joes song.
must have been a few years ago cos jones is still hanging onto his hair. this song started life with the 101ers in the mid 70s, so actually owes more to strummer than jones.

they should be thrown in jail for crimes against music, they say they love music but why do they murder it so much ?

Ye maybe so, but he strummed and banged his legs and looked cool, and i mean really cool. You can never get bored of watching that.
