Submitter's a retard. He knows birthdays yet sucks at YouTube.

By the way, get "The Future's Unwritten" documentary on Joe Strummer. Strummer and the Clash were (ARE) the band that mattered.

So good...

In the last two weeks, I just watched "Know Your Rights" and "Westway To The World". If you're reading these comments, you should watch both of 'em!!!

Happy birthday, Paul.

The funny thing about the Clash is that they got into it for the fashions. Since they got zero airplay in the midwest, I'd only see them in Creem or whatever and my poser radar would go nuts. I didn't hear the sound till the radio picked up Train in Vain. Then I got the albums and changed my mind.

You know what? That's damn hard to argue against.

Little-known fact: Mick Jones used to re-record Paul's bass tracks on the sly.

Saw Paul with the Good, The Bad and The Queen earlier this year. Damn, he was looking gangster.

Careful, Paul; clap doth not a Muppet befit!

Good job subby. Great job would have been Guns of Brixton.

/Best. Band. Ever.

Good, The Bad and the Queen - amazing album, once you let it get under your skin. I'd listen to it now, but there's a one-hit-wonders of the 80s thing on TV, and The Final Countdown just came on.

So let's agree/About the price!
and if ya want ten prisoners/
