Thanks. Always great to see new (to me) footage
I was amazed to see that it was uploaded to YouTube on 19/12/21 and this is the first time I had become aware of it.

Re: 11.422 Babies killed to Gaza today....

Unfortunately, every now and then it happens that we read some pompous ruminations of an erudite nature, written with the solemnity of those who believe they have the absolute truth. I would like to quote Sophie Scholl, member of the White Rose resistance group to the Nazi dictatorship in Germany. ...

It's always been apparent to me that Israel would like Egypt to open the Rafah crossing to allow Palestinian's to enter Sinai.

Re: The Mighty Mighty Ska Thread

These guys from 1989 maybe a little late for what you are after. More rocksteady. https://youtu.be/GD-X-Pormz0?si=9kMWHoZtNNXJ1YoJ That was good, but a little late, as you said. I'm mostly looking for people that were contemporaries of the Specials. Like, was there a 2 Tone-influenced ska scene in ...

Re: Mission to find Joe Strummer's home

Yeah i enjoyed that, thanks. Bridgewater was my last Strummer gig. Fond memories indeed. Bridgwater was also my last Strummer gig. Watching the video reminded me it was also the last time I visited Bridgwater. Made me feel it's overdue a time visit. For nostalgia purposes if nothing else. First and...

Re: On Resistance Street

This is a continuation of the Clash against the right radio show/podcast I think. Well worth checking out on mixcloud. Fingers crossed this year we get this and the proposed Topper film...and who knows maybe Strummer 003? Yes, you are correct it's all part of the thing. Here is a link to the radio ...

Re: 'All The Peacemakers' book

Very sad news. I've conversed with him via email in the past and was looking forward to do so in future as I was planning to order his latest book this weekend. He was a Clash fanatic.
RIP Tim.

Re: The What Generation Are You Poll?

I actually have high respect for boomers, not the ones born in the first decade but the second decade Boomers created punk rock and that's alright with me. I always thought that the second decade Boomers should have their own title like the "Dazed and Confused" generation or something. Sure. I've g...
