Video and images of August 2011 London riots with Clash's "Guns of Brixton" (released in 1979, two years before the riots) The first photo is the image that is most remembered of the 1981 riots and the last photo is likely the image that will be remembered one of the 2011 riots.

  • Guns of Brixton was released 2 years before the Brixton Riots.

    Ergo, The Clash are prophets, not reactionary commentary.

  • @insertstaples Good point. It's a complete dump so it's not that incredible to predict riots there, but still, pretty damn prophetic. No video cameras everywhere and Youtube to have so many people view so much.
