Creatively, I know that this was almost the finish line for the Clash (even though they would soldier on without Mick and Topper for a couple years after this, with a much less intense flame). It's said that the band were dissatisfied with all of their live sets opening for the Who, from which this performance is pulled. For me right now though this effort is the best thing I've seen them do on video. They were a staggeringly amazing band!
"do ya want to make tea at the bbc" and who flamin worked for the bbc? (under his own terms of course) joe strummer. he who never strummed a guitar isn his life (beat the holy hell outta them he did).
The army keep handin out leaflets at my school tryin to get cannon fodder for Iraq and Afghanistan - I live in Glasgow, when they asked me I told them I ain't gonna go fightin in the tropical heat!
Here on my country (Brazil) we really don't have any options of getting a job with stability if we don't for the governement (any public jobs), and they're always creating useless jobs to employ people, by the other hand, the public services really sucks because that burocracy. And the taxes we pay are the second biggest taxes on the whole world. This generates a lot of trouble and misery. So, this song is plenty of our reality. Sorry for my lame english, I've learned it alone. Peace.
I totally understand you (I'm also brazilian), and I just got dispensed of a job because I DO HAVE a University Degree, I mean, WTF? It means that I studied the last 4 years for nothing?
Your English is much better than some of my fellow american (near Chicago) university students who only speak English (if you can call it that). Cheers.
@antifnvivhardpunk I don't think you can say that for sure. Joe was one of the most spiritual people ever in rock music. It's probably true to say he didn't like organized religion much though. But that's not the same as saying they didn't like God. The Clash were good people. They did care.
@antifnvivhardpunk Seriously, I think he would. The Clash believed in justice for all, equal rights for all and supported the poorest people in the world. Joe's message was very positive for young people everywhere. Liberte, egalite and fraternite, non? Vive Joe Strummer.
I'm 17 and have no idea what the fuck I'm gonna do about a job (partly thanks to New fuckin Labour)...so I can relate and will be doin for some time-I can't see Cameron makin my life no easier.
