    My Father died in Vietnam in Nov 66 and I was born in Feb 67. Sandanista! Was first Clash album I bought Summer of 1980 I was 13. Songs like this spoke to my sorrow and anger that no one around me seamed to understand. The Only Band that Mattered! For me a very true statement.

      It was also about not following the herd, but sadly, that's what a lot of it turned into. Coopted, commercialized, or,
      even worse, a bunch of mindless stupid fucking skinhead pinhead Nazi punks as the DKs sang against. I'd rather
      have The Buzzcocks in a car commercial than that fucking lot of assholes. That wasn't what punk was about, being
      a Fascist Nazi piece of subhuman shit. Also, fuck any punk who wore Swastikas and shit like that too. You know
      who I mean.

      The other thing is, The Clash branched out, grew, and took real chances in their music, they never stayed in one lane
      for too long. Always facing charges of selling out, they could have given a fuck!

    Fun fact: Paul Simonen did not play bass on this song. He was busy filming scenes in the film "Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains". Norman Watt-Roy of the Blockheads plays bass on this song.
    Watt-Roy would also lend his talents on all the songs The Clash recorded at Electric Lady in New York either replacing Paul or drummer Topper Headon when needed.
    So: "The Magnificent Seven", "Hitsville UK", "One More Time", "Look Here", "Something About England", "The Call Up", "Lose This Skin", "Charlie Don't Surf", "Lightning Strikes (Not Once but Twice)"

      And pretty powerful. Even during the Vietnam War, few artists really reached the same level of quality in terms of writing effective music about draft resistance. "Give Peace a Chance" was a good song, but it's lyrics were mostly superficial. That Country Joe song "Fixin' to Die Rag" was pretty good, but also loaded with sardonic humor. This one really hits home in terms of the actual human TOLL of drafting young men in wartime.

    I was probably 14 or 15 when I first heard these lyrics. I had no idea at the time just how true they were. These guys not only made great music, but they were political and they were right. Without Strummer these guys would have just been another band. With him they were a revolutionary force and the greatest punk band of all time. I just wish I had been smart enough to really understand the politics when I was 15.

    Paul S' just is so damn cool, with his swagger-dance, playing bass. All four men were such a solid unit, and their influences affected their music. The whole thing of Punk being "two chords and the Truth" -well, some bands evolved, and showed they were great musicians, with message -others, had their moment of sound and fury. The Clash Mattered!

      They were frauds. Strummer was was a middle/ upper class imposter. His father was a diplomat in Turkey, like drummer Copeland's (the Police) was in the CIA. Do you think that the music industry would have signed them up and sold their records if they thought they were a real challenge to the system ? Of course not. The Clash were a manufactured pretence and so were the Specials. Strummer and Terry Hall got RICH but they were both FAKE and died young.
