Things you learned through the Clash

Post by Heston »

What the "Missa Luba" is
That Montgomery Clift was a drug addict
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

This for sure.

Probably got a bit of an early intro to South American revolutionary politics with the title of S! in general and Washington Bullets, specifically.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

It's a matter of continuing small surprise to get heavily into an exciting era of history or politics or culture that I was only superficially into before and then re-learn that Strummer had been the one to prime me with a couplet here or a set of lyrics there.

As a young man, I talked shop. Now, with wisdom strewn across my shoulders like a white waistcoat, I fingerpop.
