There is a great documentary about the Rock Against Racism Concert in England, called White Riot, another song by The Clash! Awesome capture of a moment in history. The Punk movement were always at the front in the fight against racism. The Dead Kennedys are a prime example...and their song... Well here it is... kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqurfYOkfNqJibM

Way back in 1978, I was in NY with my dad for some academic conference. I was 13 and just finding my own musical direction and was very intrigued with punk. We were at some swanky hotel and we had nothing planned one night and asked the concierge if he had any tickets we could buy. He said that he had been picked dry and only had two tickets to The Clash at Madison Square Garden that night. He had taken them in trade for some other tickets but punkrock was not exactly the vibe for his clientele. He said we could have the tickets for free if we would actually use them. Long story short, I loved it and my dad was mildly entertained. I told him it was payback for all the Grateful Dead shows he dragged me too as a kid.

I heard that for the Spanish bits in the song, there was an El Salvadorian engineer in the studio and the band got him to phone his mum and translate the lyrics, so they could parrot it in the backing vocals. Just another wee thing that made them 'The Only Band That Matters'.

Punk rock would not be what it is today without the independence of Jamaica in 1962, and the migration of British subjects back to the UK. There's a lot of The Clash where you can hear the island influence.

So glad y’all doing more punk! Dead Kennedys - “Chicken Sh*t Conformist” if you want to get a feel for the band’s message, probably not the best song if you’re not comfortable with punk yet... “Holiday In Cambodia” if you just want to react to the same songs everyone else does. NoFX - “Linoleum” is by far their most popular song. “My Orphan Year” is one of their saddest and “Monosyllabic Girl” are just fun Bad Religion - “American Jesus” is their most reacted too and one of their most commercially successful songs. “Don’t Pray On Me” or “Do What You Want” are deeper cuts and bangers in the punk world.

Got to see The Clash open for The Who in '82 (my first concert); both bands were incredible! Another place that I used to hear the "hook" from the song was when an opposing manager would visit the mound during SF Giants games to check on his pitcher. The use of the chorus "Should I Stay or Should I go?" was apropos...

The Clash (and other early British punks) didn't actually have THEIR own music at first, so they were hanging out with Jamaican immigrants and listening to Reggae and Dub. I really, really recommend having a listen to The Clash's "Justice Tonight/Kick It Over" for a taste of their Reggae inspired political style.

The clash's " Police and Thieves" NEEDS to be reviewed. One of their best REGGAE songs. Yep, I said REGGAE. The Clash is known for remaking reggae songs. The punk scene had branched and merged with the reggae scene in the 80s. The clash UB40 and many other punks got into the whole reggae culture as 70s reggae was huge in the U.K. at the time while racial tensions were high.. The Clash's other popular reggae song is Armagidion Time. Most of their reggae songs are remakes. Both of those songs were HUGE hits back then (the originals). The originals and The Clash's versions are both great because theyre done so differently.

There is so much better from The Clash than this song. They sometimes combined ska/reggae with their punk sound on tracks such as "Rudie Can't Fail" and "White Man in Hammersmith Palais". Lot of Jamaicans moved to England in the 1960s and 70s and brought the sound to England. I also really like The Clash's first record, very quick and raw.
