I guess I haven't really set out any kind of mission statement here, so this song might be a bit of a departure from my earlier posts. The lack of formal structure is for this very reason, so that I can throw anything into the mix if it appeals. In other words, I haven't really worked out exactly what I'm doing here yet.
This track is not only a classic, it's absolutely fantastic for fitting into playlists and mixtapes (which is what this is really all about!). It's simple, catchy and The Clash at their very best.
I don't need to tell you that the album is a must-have for anyone with a pulse, but for any die-hard punks out there who haven't heard it, I'll point you in the direction of The Gaslight Anthem's I'da Called You Woody, Joe - which is one of many songs you could find written about Joe Strummer, but certainly one of my favourites.
