With the assist from Jimmy Purssey of Sham 69? Brilliant.

Still think white man in Hammersmith palais is their masterpiece.

My husband was there but sadly I wasn't ( I did see Smam 69 live though). Great backstage footage. One of my favourite Clash tracks. 😍

The only band that matters 💙

And the same week, the number one song in the US was “Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star Is Born)” by Barbara Streisand. Now tell me, which song has stood the test of Time better?

Children, this is why music in the 1970s both kicked ass AND sucked at the same time.

That is true of every time period.

the-real-yukio.bsky.social•5 days ago

Naah, with few exceptions I think music uniformly sucks now...

Whether you like it or not has no bearing !! 🤔

I just think many people don’t search so hard for it when they get older. 😊

of the people rich enough to buy it,
While we walk the streets
too chicken to even try it”.

(confession time)

Punk was a defining moment in my youth, but I was never convinced by Jimmy Pursey. Or Sham 69.

And 2 years later in Zagreb, Yugoslavia(!)
Back then, punk was everything to me ...

Funny old day that .. felt like we were doing something.

vegasdiva.bsky.social•5 days ago

I remember yelling at the skinheads that lined the march route

calmacp.bsky.social•5 days ago

I went on the back of an open truck with the caricature heads of Tyndall and Webster . We were an easy target for their piss filled bottles .. quite an education for a 14 year old .
