In Rio Blanco Vermont I lived in a landmark hotel and this cute chick lived in the room next to mine. She danced at the strip club around the block. We hung out every now and then when she wasn't on the pole. Took this shot of her one night, always thought the shirt made the moment. 17 years later she's still a punker chick, a mom, and a good writer who advocates for six workers.

Maybe if she's successful she can add a seventh worker.

(Sorry.)

Anyway, in keeping with the thread, I'm in the middle of this crowd. Mick Jones' last show with the band.

There is nothing about this that isn't perfect. I would love to jump in the wayback machine as an adult and spend a few days here.

We got cable in '83. This was my introduction to The Clash on MTV. I was 12.

It's a pretty funny video when you look at every single visual.

The studio version just cannot be duplicated.

Now that I think about it, six workers probably fits SJ.com style better anyway.

Socrates and Milhous Nixon both went the same way--through the kitchen.

Greatest. Rock n roll band. Ever.

They're certainly on the very short list.

I was listening to Sandinista the other day. It's kind of forgotten and it's certainly a big sprawling mess, but my god, you knock that down to a single record and it's an absolute killer.

Kind of funny that Combat Rock, their big commercial breakthrough, is (to me at least) by far their weakest album.
