LOOK! When you steal music, overproduced from Nixon's warrentless wiretaps, don't lord it over Reagan's punkers, and come back to America:

Bob — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:53:07 GMT

Have a bad HSN-QVC SHOPPING EXPERIENCE: Let IMAN go on with kaftans, 30 years after her mafia skank-hubby DAVID BOWIE duped Nixon's W.E.S., to twit ME, for playing guitar so well, Bowie and AC-ZZ duped me and blew off Reagan geeks like Vanilla Ice, when they stole my riffs AND Iran's assets, AND THAT'S THE WAY IT IS, for Ted Poe and any other idiot with his thumb up Reagan's ass.

Why does Iman get into the US, with nukes hot, and her ripoff DAVE riotously tipping off then-revolutionary action?

Excuse ME! But Dave and QEII got Diana dead, in the meantime, or are you too full of BRIT to know what else they drive, into our pathways?

Have a clue, about STICKY FINGERS and GOAT'S HEAD SOUP. Both out in 1971, they have a LOT more rock because Nixon had mikes on.

No brag, JUST FACT: 2315 Dwight Way and former 2518a Durant, now renumbered were punk-rock source locations. My best old ex-friend RAY died with the Ramones, born 1.26, like Eddie Van Halen, his tags all subjected to corporate dupe and spin, from the heat which duped my playing on an old Gibson Melody Maker, to ruin me and cause your Mom to get pregnant, with dubious semen, with distorted DNA, yo!

Call BIG DOG and Jimmy C. in Miami, ask somebody (Big Dog Rose played TE for CAL and knows the biz was duping in Berkeley, and then he was drafted by the Fins, see also Pet Detective, and why the Raiders and Warriors and Bills will LOSE until Mtn.View HS Principal Keith Moody gets a clue and heads out of town, for fronting up illegal funding at Jon Stamos' and my old HS, where the punk-riot escalates).

Who's Got the Keys to the Damn Vault?

geoff_bennett-speer — Sat, 18 Nov 2006 15:07:42 GMT

Hey, after seeing yet ANOTHER TV commercial that used "Rock the Casbah," I'm wondering ... who owns the Clash catalog these days? I mean, "Rock the Casbah" has been used to promote everything from an Atlantic City casino to Chevrolets to cell phones. The most recent cell phone commercial goes so far as to say 'Hey, don't worry about the stupid lyrics ... we're just moving units, bitch!" (OK, admittedly, my paraphrase). What's next? Amtrak can use "Train in Vain," "London Calling" could make a happy little jingle to goose England's summer 2007 tourist season, VW can schill it's stupid is-it-a-car?-is-it-a-guitar-amplifier? gimmickmobile to "Car Jamming," 7-Up can finally dethrone Sprite with its "Magnificent Seven" campaign ... gawd knows which songs can best represent MaxiPads and Roth IRA accounts and Viagra, but ... you get the point. Who's got the song rights? Who's getting rich off of this?

Pepsi Stars RIAA-Sued Teens In Super Bowl Ad

Some 20 teen music downloaders nailed by RIAA lawyers will be featured in Pepsi's Super Bowl ads, according to a USA Today report.

The spot will promote a Pepsi limited-time offer of up to 100 million free, legal downloads from the Apple's online iTunes music store.

"We are still going to download music for free off the Internet," announces one Pepsi-sipping teen. According to the report, agency BBDO persuaded band Green Day to record a cover of "I Fought the Law" for the spot....

Any memorable Clash concerts?

Jim — Sun, 14 Dec 2003 01:47:19 GMT

I saw them in Fresno of all places back in either '82 or '83. The opening band, which I thought was pretty good, was getting boo'd and the audience was throwing things at them. Two songs into their set, Joe Strummer barges out from backstage, the band stops playing, and Strummer yells at the crowd "Shut the fuck up. These guys are going to be great some day and you are going to regret it." He marched back behnd the curtains, the band fired up again and everyone got into the music.

The opening band was Los Lobos.

Locomotive named after Joe Strummer

12/02/2005

A nationwide locomotive was named Joe Strummer on February 12 at Bristol Temple Meads station.

Naming of locomotives has been a tradition since the start of railways over 200 years ago, and it is common practice to name them after famous people.

The locomotive is a Class 47 diesel – 47828 - built in 1965 by BR at Crewe. It was used by Virgin Trains until 2004 when sold to Cotswold Rail.

Cotswold Rail is a nationwide supplier of locomotives and rolling stock to passenger and freight train operators and Charter train promoters.

The Joe Strummer is expected to work mainly in East Anglia.

Official 'Clash' biography

Fri, 15 Oct 2004 14:11:42 GMT

From www.nme.com:

A new behind the scenes biography of THE CLASH is being launched next month.

'Passion is a Fashion: The Real Story of The Clash' coincides with the recent 25th-anniversary re-release of the band’s classic 'London Calling' album.

The biography, by Pat Gilbert includes interviews with all members of the band, including the late Joe Strummer, as well as extensive new research and interviews with the group’s entourage, road crew, promoters and management.

It is the first book to go behind the scenes and set the band in an accurate historical and political context during their ten year career.

Recommendations???

Average — Sun, 18 Jan 2004 08:01:22 GMT

Anybody got some new listening recommendations?

The new Joe Strummer album is the only thing I’ve picked up in the past year. My tastes run along the lines of The Clash/ Gang of Four/ Billy Bragg/ Johnny Cash/ The Pogues/ Leningrad Cowboys/ and various obscure shamisen and balalaika stuff.

I desperately need something new to listen to.

Also for those of you who like the Clash, SLF, The Jam, or the Redskins, check out The Strike, from Chicago (http://www.thestrike.us).
