mothergrace 1, I was thinking the exact same thing. I hadn't heard this song in a long time, and listen to Clapton fairly often. Anyway, ditto.

I love how Weir introduces this song on the track from "Reckoning" "This is a song about tragedy.........tragedy narrowly averted". The way he says it just makes me laugh.

I have to play this at least once a day. Best line..."I walk around in the summertime saying how 'bout this HEAT?" PS I AM an asshole and I'm proud of it.

92 people have never had loss,anguish and emotional pain push them to the ledge

I don't need to diet, just have to look at stuff like this. Seeing this re-enforces why I invest time in eating well, exercising, and I just burned a shitload of calories laughing at this disgusting display. How can she live with her self? And don't get me started on personal hygene with these o...

I love their sound. It's like Quaaludes for your ears.

@bhogoz I wanted to echo what nicktidyman said. I am so sorry you are going through this sad time. My dad died right after Christmnas last year, and it is rough. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

@Thescreensaverr ROFL. I needed that. I've watched my three older brothers and my father growing various different configurations of mustaches, beards, soul patches, etc. and this just cracked me up.

One of my favorite parts is at the very end when Henry goes to Paulie and begs for help. Paulie's cooking sausage & peppers during the scene - you can almost smell them (the move has many well executed scenes where food & cooking play a subtle but key role in depicting that culture). Anyway, Paul...

@monkeyandtheEngineer I love the acoustic version of this song from "The Reckoning", but really replied just to tell you, GREAT screen name. Very subtle, the opposite of something like..."SunshineDaydreamBobbysGirl", or "ScarlettBegonis4Jerry"

Hearing this again just floors me. A huge cascade of memories just flooded through my thoughts, how wonderful that you posted this - Thank you.

@garfguy1 Thank you so, so much for this song. I adore it and haven't heard it in 26 years. What a nice thing you did for me by posting this.

@BIODTLOTHER1terrapin I gotta agree with you there, Pigpen wailed those vocals and you felt the blues in your toes.

I find this song so emotionally moving. Last October was driving home from North Carolina, this song came on as we were on the New Jersey Turnpike. I don't know it just makes me almost fierce, a longing for something that escapes definition. Thank you for posting it.

Thank you Thank for this posting. F-ing LOVE the Clash. Memories of happier days.

@UltimateJimmy47 Haaaaaaaa. you made me laugh. Thank you.

I love Johnny Klegg & Savuka. I first got this CD in the early '90's. I don't understand when I go to a song of his here and there are only a couple thousand hits. Oh take off your hip hip ear buds for 4 minutes and listen to this...

Ring Ring it's 7:00AM

Line it up

I'm ready again

Black eye/Straight Scotch

Guess I didn't mind it all that much

Sounds like he"s dedicating the song to his grandfather?

Just sent this to 2 of my friends. One's a cop...one's a thief

Wow. Think of all the time they had to put into this. What city and state is this in?

I haven"t seen this since it first came out. Since then I"ve learned more about the transvestite/transsexsual culture in other more southern Pacific Islands, specifically Tahiti, and during my research have studied that similar culture within male prisons worldwide. The inmate playing There Were...

Excellent posting. Thank you.

Hey Zorro, you absolutely have done this. If you knew the raft of shit I'm going through right now (death of a parent, moving, fairly serious health problems), you would be even prouder that this posting could make me forget all that, even just for a little while. People have to endure much worse...

Now kids, take that fussing outside. Your Grandmother and I are trying to listen to our bootlegs from New Haven Colliseum '78 ;79 ;80. "Mother, help me turn my hearing aid up and lets boogie with our bad selves to some music that comes along once in a lifetime...." (Once in a Lifetime, TheTalk...

@SlashMayHendrix How was the show? Where did you see it?

I think commented on another post, Maybe,"She"s Waiting" that Clapton's voice sounded so good, blah blah blah. I was completely off base. Here, he delivers an incredible vocal peformace in this clip, and watching him play that solo is incredibly sexy. Those hands.

@ammittei TMI

Listening to this makes me feel so good that I didn't realize what a crappy mood I've been in.

I was first introduced to this and other incredible classics when "That's Entertainment" came out in the '70's. What I didn't know was that in addition to his many other talents, Donald O'Connor was also an accomplished chef. Ruth Reichl, meglomanical former editor of Gourmet magazine, describe...

You could wear a tank suit until you get your act together & work out. But really, who gives a shit?

@bobbygibson1 Thank you -appreciate it.
