Perhaps Joe Strummer thought Liam Gallagher was a bit of a dunce? Or working class hero?

This song is so damn good and shows how talented Tymon was from the start. I love it.

Re: What did the Clash think of Joy Division/the Post Punk Scene
I was actually wondering the same thing recently. I'd love to come across any interviews from back then where they were asked about any of those bands. I know the story about The Clash and New Order staying at the same hotel in New York when NO first came to America and had all of their gear stolen, so we know The Clash were well aware of them.RockNRollWhore wrote: ↑01 Apr 2021, 4:13amCan’t seem to recall ever reading any mention of this. Anyone know what sort of opinion they held? I would think they self pitying nature of the music would run counter to what they believed at the time.

I agree I think it's a gem of a track. Tymon went on to work with the Moody Blues and a certain Mr. McCartney afterwards.appleseed1 wrote: ↑11 Apr 2021, 4:14pmMarky Dread wrote: ↑03 Apr 2021, 7:17pmFunnily enough Tymon (Timon) Dogg was the original britpopper.Low Down Low wrote: ↑03 Apr 2021, 5:19pmOf course, and I'd say bar tymon, most of the mescaleroes probably had their initial musical roots in britpop one way or another.
