White Man in Nostalgia Palais

Man, I love the Clash. Few things sound sweeter pumping thru the iPod. I'm hard pressed to name my favorite tune, or even my favorite album, but every time "The Card Cheat" comes on, my stride naturally doubles and I begin to strut. When that line comes around, that one that goes,

"From the hundred year war to the crimea
With a lance and a musket and a roman spear
To all of the men who have stood with no fear
In the service of the king,"


I feel like belting it out, even in a crowded place.

How is it that the Clash were so damn good?



On the turntable: The Clash, "London Calling"
On the nighttable: Douglas Coupland, "All Families Are Psychotic"
