Re: The Clash observations thread.
Don't recall this anecdote being shared. This is from Daniel Rachel's Walls Come Tumbling Down, about RAR, Red Wedge, etc. Bernie was discussing the band's participation in the big carnival show in 1978:
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'.

Re: The Clash observations thread.
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.
