It's good to see half of the Clash now in gainful employment and on course toÌýheadline Glastonbury this year. Mick Jones and Paul Simonon areÌýcurrently part of Gorillaz, of course but I'm sure Damon Albarn knows their place (and his) in the great punk rock pantheon. Is there a chance they'll do 'White Riot' as an encore ? Not according to some reports that Mick Jones, in the later phases ofÌýThe Clash (just before he was sacked) refused to play the song, considering it 'crude and musically inept'. I refuse to believe that he refused to play it. It's a record that still sounds as crisp as Paul Simonon's Sta-Prest trousers were in 1977.
