@michelemichele71782 жыл бұрын
"early" Clash are one of the most truly seminal not only punk bands but just bands. 💥💥💥💥 These guys, well I suppose I should say Joe in particular of course but, THEY TOOK IN ALL THE HORRORS OF THE WORLD WITH EYES AS WELL AS HEARTS WIDE OPEN! NEVER FLINCHING NEVER FAILING TO TELL THE TRUTH! I could wax on poetic or cry my eyes out just thinking of it..... They're like ombudsman of the world for All mankind. (More like a priest truly but that's my perspective 🤫) EYES, HEARTS, MINDS, ALL WERE WIDE OPEN! 🥺 THE COURAGE AND STRENGTH REQUIRED FOR SUCH A FEAT IS TRULY HEROIC! The fact that they were able to make a shake our asses while telling us the hardest truth, well it just doesn't get any better greater or higher than that. "SOMEBODY GOT MURDERED" "STRAIGHT TO HELL BOY" and even less obviously poignant songs like "Clampdown", and, YES "ALL LOST IN THE SUPERMARKET" ( ( "I wasn't born so much as I fell out no one really seemed to notice me / we had a hedge back home in the suburbs over which I never could see"🥺💔) You know it is said that an artist's job is to hold a mirror up to society.... To life to mankind... I think the power that they did this with to hold this mirror up to all of mankind and to all of society but at the same time to an individual who is hearing a stranger speak the truest and deepest words from their own heart; well again it just doesn't get better than that! On its way I would consider them as I say true priests here on Earth. I mean as a priest would have the duty of speaking the highest truth and truly reconnecting one to what one considers God which of course is always deeply a part of oneself...... A part of all of life. I've probably already written too much and I'm sure nobody's even going to read it but, art is important and then if it more so than music. 💯💥💥💥🙏🏽 P.S.- "somebody got murdered" was the first class song I ever heard without knowing it, and I was completely haunted by it for years and years. 🥺💔 Still am and always will be, as I think anyone should. If anyone's reading this, please don't let this world harden your heart! It is heartbreaking, but let it break your heart open! That's how we will heal each other and the world I promise you! 🙏🏽Namaste
