Milo: The problem when talking about the Clash, let alone Joe Strummer, is that people get hung up on labels. You really love the Clash, don’t you? Half of your damn music library is either them or covers of them. Trashcan Sam: Of course you would, coming out of the woodwork as soon as someone talks garbage. Milo: Some would say that the Clash were the punk Beatles? I would think so. I’m comparing a punk band to the Beatles. Years fly by, and he kicks out Mick Jones in what could be considered a punk equivalent of the Lennon-McCartney feud that killed the Beatles. He couldn’t play guitar, so he literally changed his name to “StrummerÛ. Those are the least “punk” sounding labels I have ever heard, so why bother with Mr.Mellor? Guy’s a hippie who had a punk phase. Trashcan Sam: Sellout, rich boy, and the child of a diplomat.
