Me neither. Yep Sid was a total fuckwit. Enabled by Maclaren in a lot of ways. I appreciate their place in the rock pantheon, but I love The Clash way more. They were the real deal. D.I.Y.
Wait, this is incorrect. They had a really good song writing bass player in Glen Matlock, then proceeded to bully him out of the band and replace him with SV. GM was on the majority of the recordings. As amazing as they were, The Clash they never made an album as impactful as NMTB.
"Fashion punk," used to be a proper insult in the music scene when I went to university. It was for all the rich kids who had expensive designer label punk gear or had mommy and daddy buy them top notch sound equipment.
