I have had steroid injections in my ankles and I've been off work this past 4 months. Medication failed and I'm slowly being weaned onto some meds I had previously 20 years ago. All sent to try and all that.

Re: The Clash observations thread.
Hope you get better soon Marky, gout is horrendous. I saw it first hand as my Dad had it. Hope they are at least keeping the pain at bay.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
Re: The Clash observations thread.
Get well soon, MD. I'm guessing all these remasters are a nice byproduct of your illness.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

The old man spoke up in a bar
Said "I never been in prison
A lifetime serving one machine
Is ten times worse than prison"
Ugh, rhyming "prison" with "prison." So close to being a good line.

Thanks for all the well wishes folks, much appreciated. Yep the spare time on my hands means the devil is busy remastering.

You're never going to be a Black Flag superfan with that attitude.

I was trying to think of another example and only know of one off the top of my head:
I walk these streets
A loaded six-string on my back
I play for keeps 'cause I might not make it back

Re: The Clash observations thread.
Talking of rhymes, I love Joe's rhyme of "mafia" with "get 'em out on yer" in All the Young Punks.
