I’ll never forget the first time I saw “The Clash” album cover. Their bad ass stances, posing in the alley with armbands and flags, which showed they stood for something, short hair, opposite of the rockn’roll long hair, their attitude overflowing and the ripped up artwork that was so popular and modern at the time. Wow, I was totally smitten. I could not wait to buy the album. I just knew they had to be good and I was not disappointed. It wasn’t long until I got kicked out of the frat I was pledging to, once I cut my surfer hair and starting cranking “Career Opportunities” and “Garageland” in my room! The Clash saved me!
