it's one of life's small pleasures when a film continues to resonate
for a day or 2 or more after witnessing it in the big dark theatre

you know...the thing about the clash that really bugs me...is that they should still be with us
i also enjoyed joe strummers implied distaste for that other outfit that predates them
and are currently getting as much satisfaction as you could wish for - financially
there was one tune in the film that i'd forgotten about and is probably my personal favourite
it's just the best tune and the lyrics written in 1977 (ish) are so contemporary
