Remember When The Clash Played Bonds?

[The Blowhard]

I was there. The NYC Fire Marshals showed up because of the overcrowding. Great show, great venue!

Remember When The Clash Played Bonds? <P>
Whoa!! Major flashback! <P>
The Clash on Broadway. Opening night - twice as many tickets sold as people allowed under the fire regs. Opening Acts - The Slits & Grandmaster Flash w/the Furious Five (who were booed off the stage! I went again later in the week when it was less crowded and they were better received.) <P>
21 years ago, wow. Thanks Heckler, now I feel really old. I'm going to bed. ;-) <P>

If you can't laugh at the misfortunes of others, what can you laugh at?

I believe they played 12 nights.they just kept selling tickets(and possible "out").That was the beginning of the end for me and the Clash.I still love their music but back then it was the thing to do....hate a band because they got popular.

I'm real sorry but I have to reply to my own response.When I play Janie Jones in my car,I feel like I have to jump out of my car and start playing "air" gituar on the hyway.

"That's" the Clash I remember.

COS YEARS HAVE PASSED AND THINGS HAVE CHANGED
AND I MOVE ANYWAY I WANNA GO
I'LL NEVER FORGET THE FEELING I GOT
WHEN I HEARD THAT YOU'D GOT HOME
AN' I'LL NEVER FORGET THE SMILE ON MY FACE
'COS I KNEW WHERE YOU WOULD BE
AN' IF YOU'RE IN THE CROWN TONIGHT
HAVE A DRINK ON ME
BUT GO EASY...STEP LIGHTLY...STAY FREE



"Merry Christmas....I don't want to fight tonight".

London Mourning


The Clash's Joe Strummer dies. The punk pioneer died Sunday at age 50 by Brian Hiatt



CLASH'S TITAN Strummer was not known to be ill

Joe Strummer, the snarling, Cockney-accented, bitingly intelligent lead singer for British punk-rock legends the Clash, died Sunday, according to the Associated Press. He was 50 years old. No official cause of death has been announced, but the BBC quoted a friend as saying Strummer -- who was not known to be ill -- died of a heart attack.

Strummer (born John Graham Mellor) and guitarist Mick Jones were the key creative forces behind the Clash -- in addition to singing and writing many of the band's songs, he played rhythm guitar on his trademark black Telecaster. The two formed the Clash in 1976, and released their self-titled first album the next year, quickly becoming one of punk's most popular, politically charged and critically acclaimed bands (though it took longer in America than in Britain).

In 1983, after producing their masterpiece, 1979's double album ''London Calling'' and their commercial high point, 1982's ''Combat Rock,'' Strummer and bassist Joe Simonon booted Jones from the band. The Clash officially split three years later. In the '90s Strummer returned with a new band, the Mescaleros, with whom he recorded two albums and toured.

Strummer and Jones appeared to have reconciled their longstanding differences in recent months. They reunited on stage in London earlier this year, leading many to expect them to perform together in March for the Clash's scheduled induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Strummer leaves behind a wife, two daughters, and a stepdaughter.
