I love the Clash (RIP Joe Strummer), but Topper's heavy drug use was the beginning of the end for the group. His heroin habit ruined his drumming skills at the time.

/Lost in the supermarket is one of the best Clash songs ever!

Should we be applying his music directly to forehead?

Before he got lost, though, Topper was as good as any drummer in rock.

I could go for a colortini right about now.

I'd say he was better (and very underrated) compared to a lot of drummers in rock. Listen to their live stuff, he gets it consistently perfect.

She was great in "The Birds", and did you know she's Melanie Griffith's mother?

On YouTube last time I checked--this show featured "Magnificent Seven" and the first ever performance of "Radio Clash".

Yep. Me too. Tom's show was one of the best, IMO. Even when I didn't give a crap about the guest that was on, he made it interesting.
