The Clash Tony Parsons Interview pt 2

[@arianrhodhyde7482]

i love how joe starts mockingly singing the stones and mick joins in straight ahead

[@baronsaturday2103]

Yeah... but I love it too that they later say they really loved Elvis, Beatles and The Rolling Stones, it was manager Bernie Rhodes who came up with that, and they wanted to get out a certain message, like, 'this is over, it's time for something else.. *punk!'* And in 'The Future's Unwritten' docu you hear Joe saying that when he was at school he heard the Stones for the first time bursting out of this wooden radio, and he loved the rawness of it immediately. They were the rebels of the '60s together with countless others who got it from the Stones/British Invasion.

[@maddie8415]

It's hilarious because I think the stones were one of Mick's top influences. And the whole "I went to see my baby and she wasn't there" really fits into his own style of songwriting (in the best way!) They're really just trying to put on a show for this interviewer who seems to constantly be on the verge of outright calling them phonies.

[@Scott_M23]

And 2 years later they released Lovers Rock, Train in Vain, etc. Its why they’re the best

[@ragdollillustration]

Ooh good lord, that 'look' to the camera at 2:56. -- Love 'em!

[@JimOfShatner]

haha Tony Parsons. The Danny Dyer of the 70s

[@markporter1901]

Just to provide context. The boys were nearly out of their teens. Joe was older but he was still very you g

[@patl709]

Lots of comments about fake accents here. The only fake or put on accent here is Tony Parsons. If you listen to him speaking just a few years later his accent is completely different. However, Mick and Joe’s accent remained pretty consistent over the years.

[@StrummerLivesxxx]

Yes, it doesn't matter if kids take drugs, Joe hahaha.

This Part 2 is interviewed by video director Lindsey Clennell

A second of Joe's beatboxing at 2:35

[@philquinton]

ahaha this interviewer is parodied as Tony Parsehole (parsons) hes putting on a wierd teenage cockney accent as well which is amusing

[@revol148]

+Philip Quinton you reckon - even more than the contrived accent of (son of a diplomat, public school boy) Joe Strummer?

[@TheModdy]

all righ´!

[@bustertheboxer1343]

Tony parsons isn't asking the questions. He's the fourth person in the film. Strummer, Jones, Simonon and Parsons. No drummer.

[@virgilzhou3439]

Any idea where I could find a better quality version of this? thx

[@frflinstone]

Parsons had more intelligence in his toe than DD had ever had !!

[@rudy81]

@JimOfShatner lmfao

[@cloudsgennaio6665]

Jonesy looks so fucking annoyed... Relax baby, I' ll take care.....

[@finnmoore4192]

No dislikes as it should be

[@swellmap8658]

They hate cameras so much , maybe they shouldnt have done tv shows

[@arianrhodhyde7482]

they thought tony parsons stabbed them in the back eventually, didn't they? with 'the boy looked at johnny' or whatever it's called

[@TheModdy]

yeah righ, eh, and then I met him in the street...and then we met him...hey, kosmo´s gay, righ´?

[@revol148]

Joe strummer doing his working class accent - and failing terribly

[@finnmoore4192]

Wdym? 😂 he isn't faking his accent and why would he want to?

[@maddie8415]

I think he always sounded about the same...who cares.

[@revol148]

@@finnmoore4192 son of a diplomat ex-public schoolboy pretending he's from Bethnal green !

[@guynelson2341]

Yeah Joe Strummer, the working-class gutter boy from a council estate who lived in squats and that ,who was actually educated at a public school.

[@JoseGranny]

Aren't most people educated in public schools? That's what we have in the US. But most government-funded systems, (medical, school system, etc.) are shit.
