Martin Scorcese on The Clash

Not only does he recite some words from Clampdown, but it turns out that the first time they met The Clash played him my superslice of superslices, Lose This Skin:
Last week I posted HERE re: a paper I wrote in college about The Clash, and it turns out I still have the package Rolling Stone sent me, as well as the paper itself.  I bet I'm the only person you know who spent 4 pages documenting the racial significance of Lose This Skin, a super-slice nobody ever fucking talks about. It was written and sung by Tymon Dogg (who taught Joe Strummer how to play guitar, thank you very much, and was in Joe's band when he died). Slice of super-slices.
