So last week I was going to write up something on the 40th anniversary of the release of London Calling, arguably the Clash's greatest album and one of the greatest albums of all time. Unfortunately illness and busyness got in the way of writing something up proper. I'd still like to do something so maybe one FMD I'll really do the album justice. It's a great album that still holds up. Check it out.
Also for some reason today is International Clash Day. Not sure why February 7th is considered International Clash Day, but here you go. Apparently, "it began as a tribute to The Clash’s music and legacy [and now] has evolved into a banner celebration of the issues and message they stood for. The Clash were unapologetically confrontational and champions of the oppressed, always striving for the possibility of a better world."
The Clash was a great band, with great songs, and a great message. So go put on some Clash, raise your voice, fight for the oppressed, Lord knows we need some raised voices these days.
Drop 'em if you go 'em boyo.
Justin Bieber at Target Center Presale: 10:00a today. Code: YUMMY. Concert: June 21,
Another ‘raise your voice, fight for the oppressed’ band will be in town on March 14: Drive-By Truckers. The Unraveling is solid. Mags said it.
It took me a second to figure out what you were saying, and I was like "That sounds oddly familiar" until I realized it was me you quoted.
