I can get behind this.
Uh, we still haven't done a full inventory of Mick's shed.
Mick didn't start his stash 'til '79.
But what a stash!Marky Dread wrote: ↑10 Jul 2019, 1:19pmMick didn't start his stash 'til '79.

Bernie was trying to negotiate and he said, ‘If you buy a tank for the freedom fighters in Zimbabwe then my boys will do it.’ We just laughed and said, ‘We haven’t got any money. What are you talking about?’ And Joe Strummer turned round and said, ‘Fuck off, Bernie. Get it into your head there ain’t any money'.
This is great and as always...when I read Joe's quote in my head it was in his voice!Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑11 Jul 2019, 7:02pmDon't recall this anecdote being shared.

Yeah one I've read before but no less great to read again. Just shows you where Bernies head was at and the way his reactionary brain was working. Ludicrous ideas and delusions of grandeur. The Clash in 1978 were hardly a big group and world beaters.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑11 Jul 2019, 7:02pmDon't recall this anecdote being shared.

Now if only he had taken the same stance later on.
