the one that goes boo boo boo boo boom, boo boo boom, boo boo boom?

yea or somthing liek that even though i have never heard Listen..is it anygood?

Yea, Andy, that's the song. And its pretty good, but there are no lyrics, its just an instrumental.

i havent listened to westway in a long time...so i cant quote joe...but i remember it's funny...something like "we all fell down laughing" or whatever.



"bastard!" - mick

I just found out the Billy Bragg shop at billybragg.co.uk has a pretty cool shirt with a drawing of Joe and undernieth it says "Uncle Joe" then its surrounded by "Old Skool Punk, Walk It Like You Talk It"

and then on the back it says Billy Bragg O.S.P or something, dunno what that stands for

ohhh i like that.in let fury have the hour, billy bragg keep saying "walk it like you talk it - that's what joe always did"

Show us pic of the shirt.

Yea, they fell down laughing when Paul kept going and going and they didn't know when to join in :lol:.

unfortunatly I can only find a zoomed out picture of it, none of the shirts in his store have enlarged photos

[url]http://billybragg.co.uk/shop/index.html[/url], scroll down a bit

it's not the kind of shirt i'd wear, but it's awesome that so much people want to pay hommage to Joe.

I think my Clash shirt is cool :cool:.

I stole mine from Hot Topic, but I need another one, its one of those huge logos that chip really easily

take a pic and send.or give it to me.

EDIT: to sean

you stole it?punk rawk kid.Joe would be proud of you.Let's steal the big compagnies.

lol theres a guy in there who basically helps kids steal stuff from the store, they should have known when they hired a guy with a huge Crass tattoo

they don't really have any decent bands in there anymore though

i used to steal things all the time, but i got older and my parents started giving me money.so i'm not punk rock anymore.and i try not to buy from big compagnies...but i wear converse shoes and i have a sony cd player.i fail miserably...i'll probably burn in hell.

ohhh...straight to hell, girl!

I used to steal buttons from there a lot.

I don't have a pic, but its the same one as the guy from the Ataris has. I think you were talking about it before.

youre right.and kris has an awesome shirt.i'll try to find it somewhere.

[QUOTE=TheNowhereman42]and then on the back it says Billy Bragg O.S.P or something, dunno what that stands for[/QUOTE]
it stands for old school punk, i would guess.

thaqt wouldn't make sense though since bragg is a folk singer

Capitial Radio is a cool song , very relevant

[QUOTE=Coma_Girl]youre right.and kris has an awesome shirt.i'll try to find it somewhere.[/QUOTE]

i wanna see this shirt since you keep on talking about it

You can buy that shirt on e-bay everywhere if its the shirt i think you are talking about. I saw him wearing it in a Me First and the Gimme Gimmes film clip.

go to ebay and post the shirt

theres a lot of clash thread today...

yea i know whats with that....do people not notice that there is a joe strummer thread that has gone 85 pages!!

I've just discovered something very weird:

The cd tray picture (the picture behind where the cd goes) for the self titled album, has Joe, Mick, and Paul standing with their backs facing the camera and their hands on the wall. Joe's jacket reads, "1977."


As I was watching Westway, during the DIY part, I noticed the EXACT same picture, but instead of reading "1977" Joe's jacket reads "Hate and War"

I own the US release of the first album. Is this the same picture for the UK release? Did the record label try to censor "Hate and War" from the American version because they thought it too blunt for American listeners??!!??




p.s. in my opinion, Hate and War looks much cooler

woah..never noticed that..hm...dont no why its like that..maybe sean or andy know

i have the us version, and i'm pretty sure its written hate and war....but i'm too lazy to find the cd.

I'm positive it's the US version. I'm positive that it says 1977.

Ramshackle Day Parade is such a great song

I can answer the jacket question. Joe's jacket did originally say "Hate and War", but when the record label was going to post the picture in the album, they changed it to "1977" because they thought "Hate and War" wasn't suitable. Bastards. I hate censorship :mad:.

i love you for loving this song.awesome lyrics...the first verse is really really really ****ing brillant.

hey guys...look at the new name of the thread :amaze: awesome.we're all officially clash whores.

partyyyyyyyyy. :cool:

woooooooah bout time they did that...now were offical

:cool: :chug: to the OFFICIAL CLASH THREAD! I love how that sounds :).

You guys read my reply to the jacket question a few posts up, right? Just wanna make sure.

EDIT: Wow, I didn't realize that Andy had more postes in here than me. Go Andy :D!

yea...censorship is wrong..i did a whole speach about it in class one year

Ya, and plus Hate and War looks much cooler and rebellious than 1977.
