Now I say this with baited breath but I never really got the Clash and thought them a bunch of poseurs in fake fatigues who couldn’t play but like many a punk rock band (so called - sic?) the studied image and the sheer energy made them brush with learning their trade growing up in public and by the time of B.A.D.
