[QUOTE=White Riot!]I heard Mick's song "MP FREE" from his new band carbon/silicon. it reflects Mick's view about P2P filesharing. Mick believes that people should be free to rip, mix and burn music and encourages fans to record and distribute gig recordings.[/QUOTE]

This definetly makes sense, since they had the prices of London Calling and Sandinsita lowered.

And as for religon, none of the sites I found said anything, One site said they weren't sure about Joe, though.

I've been wanting to check them out.

Here's The Lyrics

MP.FREE

i believe in MP3
i believe in P2P
i just burnt my own CD
the day the music was free......
in the 21st century - the day the music was free!....

I believe in P 2 P..............supersharers...
A billion downloads can1t be wrong...
A billion people heard my song....
So, Goodbye Mr Copyright...
the fame will keep me up all night..

I just surfed right down your street
sampled your tune, borrowed your beat
that's the way the bytes go round
they make the revolution sound...

Shakespeare, Michael Angelo
Had no corporation Hos
Def to majors, their lawyers suck
Now people don't give a ****!

in the 21st century -
the day the music was free!....


Mick is a great guy too!

Yea, all of the guys in the Clash just wanted people to hear their music.

for some reason, this song always sounded really sarcastic to me.


ohhh and Gumby...you really read the whole thread?you're awesome.welcome dude :amaze:

The lyrics do seem very trite.

somone listen to this song and tell us about it!

Why are you raving about it? Those lyrics are pretty terrible.

F[b]u[/b]ck rhymed with suck? WOW! He's a revolutionary!

This is why it's the Joe Strummer thread. Not the Mick Jones thread

Sweeeet. one of my friends who used to like the clash, just said he can give me a bunch of their albums.

Strummer was a goof sometimes! He used to climb his neighbours fences to swim in their pools and johnny cash was recording at one of his neighbours studio's at the time and joe saw him and decided to greet mr cash , even though he didnt know him.

How cool is that!

Yea, Joe had a great sense of humor. That helped the Clash stay together.

Another funny thing he did was writing lyrics on pizzaboxes and toilet paper!

:lol:

You know about the car lighting on fire, right?

hell yeah!


on the subject of cars , how cool is his vintage rock and roll caddillacs?

Joe's Cadillacs was sweet, but after he died somebody sold one of them. At the menu of the Essential Clash dvd, it shows the Clash riding around in one of Joe's Cadillacs.

Is that why Tim Armstrong has a cadillac in the Transplants cover? BEcause of his obsession with Joe Strummer?
