Think the street gang might have been mentioned in the film. There's certainly footage of Mick and Joe on the mixing desk singing along to a recording of V13.

There is also nice use of Beyond the Pale.
What film is being referenced here Marky.
Rebel Dread. The Don Letts film.

Re: Rebel Dread

I've seen it. Was spoken about on another thread. There are inaccuracies in relation to BAD.

Re: Rob Peter Pay Paul

Was it actually a freshly written song in 2011?

Re: Don's book

He also says BAD lasted 8 years and played shows in New York in 1984. Don was in the band for 5 years? '84 - '89. This is what I thought. There's a Q and A local to me later in the week, but I'm not sure I can be bothered. I think it's fair enough for the memory to play tricks after all these years...

Re: Don's book

Doesn't make it more interesting to me if it's bullshit. I only care about the facts. Why obscure the truth. Too much myth making. Agree. Makes me wonder about some of the other stuff. Also, Don glories in his 'bredren' being prolific suppliers of weed. Then wants to claim deep injustice in his 'br...

Re: Don's book

Probably more BAD than I anticipated but the story is cut short abruptly without mention of third and fourth albums.

Mick, Leo and Greg talk at intervals throughout.

Found it a bit strange that west London, specifically, wasn't spoken about more.

Don tells the story that they bumped into Strummer in New York while recording Upping Street.

Re: Don's book

Mick wears a cravat. He has clearly been listening to Radio 4 a lot. (The radio station not the band.)

Re: Don's book

Upping St was recorded in London. It was only mixed in NYC. Correct?

So the Strummer/Jones renion happened in London, right?

Film was pretty good...
