    The greatest bands have a much bigger influence years after their last Album & Concert. The Clash is a PRIME example of this.

      That is absolutely true. The Clash is alive... even if they haven't been together since 1986. His music is more present today than ever. Everyone who experienced this time will probably carry this with them until the last day. The Clash will forever remain alive in our hearts.

But I can hear it now and understand perfectly the complaint, and why the law always won in those days. Even though I loved the clash music and didn´t understand very much the lyrics, they really sing complicated in English for the ones who english isn´t native language, like both of us. Regards.

    This song was written by Sonny Curtis of the Crickets, Buddy Holly's backing band and recorded by them in 1960, the year after he died in a plane crash. I guess had he lived it would have been another big hit for him back then. The Cricket's drummer, Jerry Allison, did the original 6 gun on the song.

And it just happened to be a film about a very famous persistent cartoon canine who spent his entire life trying to catch a bird.

    The British punk rock scene is still alive!! The punk rock british spirit of The Clash lives on through bands such as HeadAche. Search up 'Trepidation' by HeadAche.. you won't regret it!!
