Introduction: Hi, I'm Gutterpoet
Hi everyone,
I’d like to introduce myself. I’m Gutterpoet and I love The Clash.
I’ve just found this place, and it looks like the best place to discuss this amazing and very influential band.
Also, I just love the links to great live shows. My hard drive is filling up fast with all the shows I’ve downloaded in just the last week.
But how long has this board been around? Everybody seems to know each other really well, but the oldest threads are like not even a month old.
BTW, my username comes from the Pretenders song lyric about all of us being in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars. I love the Pretenders, too, and know that Chrissie has a connection to the Clash.
This is my first post, but I hope to jump right in soon and share my thoughts on the only band that matters!
Say “hi” back if you’re interested!

I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

I think you would very pleasantly enjoy a night of heavy drinking with this friendly, exceedingly well-adjusted Mick Jones fan:

Re: Introduction: Hi, I'm Gutterpoet
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.
I didn't understand some of the things that you guys wrote, but I do want to say that I love puppies and unicorns!
I'm not too keen on jazz or communism, though.
Regarding communism, I believe that an idealized redistribution of wealth through the nationalization of the means of production cannot be achieved without a loss of political, economic, and human rights. Furthermore, achieving control over the means of production and distribution of wealth requires a communist system of government to acquire significant powers of coercion, which necessarily leads such a society to totalitarianism. Thus, Fascism and Nazism were the inevitable outcome of the socialist trends in early 20th century Italy and Germany.
Jazz, on the other hand, just sucks.

Re: Introduction: Hi, I'm Gutterpoet
Unicorns always remind me of the Simpsons Bible tales episode, where Homer & Marge (Adam & Eve) basically kill the last unicorn. Ned as God cradles the unicorn and says, "Oh, Gary, what have they done to you?"tepista wrote:If I had a unicorn, I would name him Sparkles.

For some reason, I always feel like that's an obscure allusion to Gary Larson of "the Far Side" fame.

In the interest of pure honesty: I don't ALWAYS feel that way. I can go months, and probably years without thinking of it at all.Dr. Medulla wrote:I have a weird feeling you're right.

Re: Introduction: Hi, I'm Gutterpoet
Wait a minute, when I used a Simpsons reference, you said "remember when Simpsons quotes were funny?" or something. It's OK for you, though.Dr. Medulla wrote:Unicorns always remind me of the Simpsons Bible tales episode, where Homer & Marge (Adam & Eve) basically kill the last unicorn.
