Mal ,'Trash'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
I have an image of ginormous spliffs by the pallette during the recording of Sandinista.
There was that, and also, after London Calling came out, Springsteen released The River, so Joe Strummer said (or at least least he said it in an interview) "Fuck him, we're gonna do a 3 record set".
There was a Joe Strummer memorial held in Boston shortly after he died at a bar in called J. J. Foley's (apparently a favorite hangout of Mr. Strummer when he was in town). A girl who'd been at his funeral was there and told us that "White Man in Hammersmith Palais" was played as they lowered the coffin, and Joe's daughter slapped a "This End Up" bumper sticker on it.
They got Burton suits, ha you think it's funny
Turning rebellion into money
I am interviewing Sloan tomorrow, then probably seeing them open for Jet at the Fillmore. Oooh la la!
Jet's playing in SF? Nice.

For Scram. And I'm bringing my Sloan expert, Elizabeth, with me. (She wrote about One Chord for the book.)
Elizabeth who was at the wedding and has the same camera as me?

Nope, I think that was Cathy the cool puppeteer.
I love London Calling - one of my earliest punk memories is Strummer & the Pogues doing it on late-night TV here.
For those who don't know there's a rather brilliant charity in his memory: [link]
David, where's your tag from? I know I've seen it before but I can't place it.
Steph, have you had a chance to listen to those CDs I sent you? I'm curious to know what you think of them.
