Hopefully you've had a look around by now and seen the doors to the Clash Archive are wide open!
Loads of great stuff in there, just been reading a classic interview with Adam Green -

Spotted any other classics yet?

"I mean the United States is a wonderful place, but it’s founded upon the extermination of the indigenous population of an entire continent, plus slavery and the death penalty. It’s not a country whose foundation makes me think that they have all the answers."

Does Tim Burgess hair in issue two count...?
he looks like a lizard in that photo!
Hmmm - he kinda looks like a monkey/Michael Jackson/lizard hybrid there. We really shouldn't tease though. He will always have the upper hand - he'll reach 60 and still only look in his 30s.....
anyway
Nathan Followill "The karma thing – never talk about a man until you’ve walked a mile in his shoes. That way when you talk about him you’re a mile away and you have his shoes."
- I hope he didn't take credit for that.....there's nothing like some good old quote plagarism :)
that's not olden, that's golden

“He’s a feeling person, not a guitar dick. That’s important.”
