Wonder if it was a Don or Mick lyric? Either way it was streets ahead of where Joe was at this point. I'm one of CtC's biggest defenders but BAD were on another level.

I think you have to assume Don had significant input, as BAD II's lyrics never got anywhere close!
Apparently Joe's first words to Mick on reconciliation were to the effect that he didn't like the first BAD album much. I'm sorry Joe, but what's not to like?

Going back to the Stussy warehouse thing...
The only person I can think of, capable of such celebrity hobnobbing, is Piers Morgan.
Scary!

Joe had other motives, like reforming the real Clash.MarkyJacobs wrote: ↑06 Sep 2017, 7:06amI think you have to assume Don had significant input, as BAD II's lyrics never got anywhere close!

Yes, we did. It was in ‘91 I think, before the U2 tour. Paul Oakenfold is a very good friend of Gary Stonadge. And I’m not him.MarkyJacobs wrote: ↑05 Sep 2017, 6:01pmIt would be interesting if he was. But I'm sure Teddy said he visited (the Stussy warehouse) with Mick and Oakenfold...

From what I remember reading, I think it would be a mistake to give Don too much credit for the quality of the lyrics on that album.MarkyJacobs wrote: ↑06 Sep 2017, 7:06amI think you have to assume Don had significant input, as BAD II's lyrics never got anywhere close!

Most Jones/Letts songs were collaborative. The ideas flow back and forth in the air, and then they become songs. It would also be a mistake, however, not to give Don enough credit.

Let's not forget The Bottom Line though. It's arguably the strongest song anywhere for which Mick receives sole credit.

Yes, but Mick has actually recently given a co-credit on The Bottom Line to Robin Banks. Like I said, the ideas flow back and forth and in the air with Mick (high or not), and sometimes they end up in a song. Mick can write a lyric though.MarkyJacobs wrote: ↑07 Sep 2017, 9:27amAir thick with marijuana smoke, I shouldn't wonder.TeddyB Not Logged In wrote: ↑07 Sep 2017, 2:54amMost Jones/Letts songs were collaborative.

He more or less single-handedly wrote my favourite song of all time (Complete Control) if the biogs are correct.
