I haven't seen the documentary but Bernie Rhodes had a TON to do with the crap at the end. Mick Jones was always the careerist in the band as well and you simply couldn't see his fascination with dance music working in their structure. I love them both as flawed as they are. Strummer is my third favorite ham-fisted rhythm player. Totally underrated as a unique guitarist. Just behind Bernard Sumner of New Order and Colin Newman of Wire.<br /><br />Total tangent at this point but my favorite pre-Clash story is how McLaren and Rhodes were trying to assemble bands and just throwing people together and at one point had Jones writing songs in his bedroom with Chrissie Hynde (yes - that Chrissie Hynde.)John Fosternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31270091.post-4959172950840652862009-05-29T17:03:28.391-05:002009-05-29T17:03:28.391-05:00Also, Prince sings "My Name is Prince".Also, Prince sings "My Name is Prince".Jumbo Slicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08525227134450004928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31270091.post-77708529204857925062009-05-29T16:57:38.699-05:002009-05-29T16:57:38.699-05:00Wilco (The Song) anyone?Wilco (The Song) anyone?Tylernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31270091.post-54109060464825631292009-05-29T16:05:55.798-05:002009-05-29T16:05:55.798-05:00damn it, forgot the F&M songdamn it, forgot the F&M songJimbromskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480579106355009821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31270091.post-81919424757810663162009-05-29T15:57:02.928-05:002009-05-29T15:57:02.928-05:00The Namecheck, when performed properly, is quite c...The Namecheck, when performed properly, is quite cool. A couple other examples are "The Dismemberment Plan Get Rich" which tells the story of the D-Plan spending their billions. Fujiya & Miyagi namecheck themselves about 300 times on "Ankle Injuries". In fact, I think the whole song is just them repeating their name over and over.Jumbo Slicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08525227134450004928noreply@blogger.com
