let me just say that no one, no one, should be slagging on the clash.

That might be the biggest undestatement in the history of this board....

Go get em' scooter!

Go get who? Huh, tough guy?

to me, it is totally against the roots of rock & roll to say that musicians shouldn't give voice to social issues. rock & roll is protest music, people.

Too many protest singers
Not enough protest songs


*sigh* nobody understands me, think I'll go eat worms.

We need a smilie with it's fists up, play-fighting. I would have put that after my post to you so it would be known that I was joshing as well. But until then you'll just have to think I'm serious.

And you can call me baby, but not sweetheart. Got that?

Okay, I can actually hear that in my head. I'm going to sing it outloud now.

Oh boy, that was an uncomfortable moment.

I used to sing alternate lyrics to Raspberry Beret. I actually found a raspberry beret while thrifting once. I put in on my head and spent the next hour singing to myself as I browsed the racks. You see crazy people every day at the Salvation Army so I wasn't too out of place.

I didn't think of it as a political statement, more that he was covering Leonard Nimoy's rockin' cover of it.
