"WHITE RIOT - I WANNA RIOT... A RIOT OF MY OWN"
I like this clip of the Clash, its raw, its vile -- it speaks to me. This is before the polished NBC version on Saturday Night Live --- by then the entire message as well as the look was sterile. They had become accepted as soon as they signed on to CBS records.
It was when they signed up on CBS records that a lot of people claim that the Punk Movement had ended. The rebellious nature of the whole thing had become a commercial, a product, a new thing to categorize.
This has a rawness to it.....
