This is great. The first Travis Bickle sample feels flat in the song but the second one pumps!

Edit: True Force Mix is incredible. That one could easily be a lost B-Side to some obscure 12" release.

Cheers Kory. I don't hate Paul's vocal at all. The Kosmo one is a bit forced but then hey he wasn't singing either.

It's a warts and all thing but I do dig RAD a great deal. There's so much that individually is wrong about it, but as a whole it succeeds.

Musically, I think it's one of the best examples of this "narco funk" thing they were (maybe) unintentionally creating. And if the vocals were done any other way, I think it would sound even weirder. It gives me hope for my own upcoming vocal project since I can't sing.

Conviction can counter so much of a lack of conventional singing ability. Biafra, Lydon, Mark E. Smith, Dylan—none have/had conventionally pleasing voices, but there's conviction in what they're doing that allows it to work.

Yeah, but would you have voted for Curtis Sliwa for mayor recently if you lived in New York? Not me. Whatever one thinks about Eric Adams.

I wouldn't let Curtis Sliwa within 1000 feet of anything political.
His ex wife on the other hand ..... MAYBE 30 years ago.
The Sliwas are a joke. And not a very funny one at that.
From what I see there's still a little hope
That's if we don't hang from too much rope

If the passion you clearly put into your music is anything to go by then definitely.

I love it and ghetto defendant. I only really got into Sandinista and Combat rock by having Clash on Broadway taking up half of my 6 CD stacker in my car and really starting to like the later Clash stuff. Ghetto Defendant, Red Angel Dragnet and Straight to Hell were from then on my favourite 3 tracks from Combat Rock, and I actually really really like Cool Confusion too for the same reason.

It took me much longer to like some of the deeper cuts on CR.
