från fred-wilson kommer:
The Clash’s obsession with Reggae went beyond music as well. In aligning themselves with Reggae, they were consciously associating themselves with Rastas and Rude Boys - outcasts, criminals, and most importantly, political outsiders. The Clash, very early on, was as much a political organization as it was a band. Frantically trying to shed, or at least obscure the middle class roots of three quarters of the band (Paul was decidedly working class, hence the credibility previously mentioned), Reggae was a perfect touchstone for their personal historical revisionism.
Och det fick mig dra igång lite Clash för första gången på länge, länge. Började med I Fought The Law. Bra, det.great post from Jackson on one of my all time favorite bands
