Re: The Clash observations thread.
I'm positive we've talked about this book before, but I can't find it using the search (even by putting the title in quotes). Can anyone find the thread where this book is assessed?

Re: The Clash observations thread.
I've got it. Are you looking to see if it's worthwhile?
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.
Re: The Clash observations thread.
Yeah, I'm sure it doesn't have any new information for people like us, but if it's an entertaining read at least, I wouldn't mind trying it out. It's from the same series as similar books on the Jam and Smiths, both of which are quite good.

Re: The Clash observations thread.
There are some strange opinions in it, and plenty of factual mistakes from memory.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I liked it, it was like an alphabetised chat about every song with an enthusiastic Clash fan over a pint.
