With the dust settled, and without the shock of the new, US North stands as one of the ultimate Strummer/Jones compositions.
I love it but it makes much more sense as two shorter versions.
The length is probably my favourite part.
Each to their own mate but I don't think the repetitiveness of that tune lends itself to a ten minute song.
It feels to me like a spiritual last song created by Joe and Mick and I don't want it to end and I can't let go. So the fact it keeps going is great, it really satisfies me and helps me get over the loss.

Megadittos, great way to put it. Fantastic song.

At least I loved it back in the day.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Ginsberg is an advocate for paedophilia. Horrible man.

In Bindhi Baghee, Joe mentions he's walking down some high road or other and that nowhere around can be found mushy peas. I gotta call bull on this because I was able to find mushy peas pretty easily wherever I was. Where is this pea-less high road?
