Post by Equaliser »

I never knew this existed! It's kind of a funny interview with some classic Strummerisms.

Not sure if that link works E, but did a google and it came up anyway. Another gem, thanks for heads up.

What a great find, thank you for pointing this article out!
It also, miraculously led me to find a PDF scan of the article in print!!! - which you can view and download from this blog post:

^ Alongside the Fripp+Strummer article, there's a lengthy Mick Jones interview too.
Wish they had uploaded a full scan of the issue (just for context and fun), but man, I will take what I can get!!!
The photos n print-formatting make it a whole experience, a little time travel... Sit back with your silly music mag in the summer of 81... aahh.

ps: the blog linked is not mine ~ if anyone can't access the file/URL in the future, just ping me and I'll host my own copy of the pdf
