Page 31 "All the big punk bands are just sell-out groups anyway," says Andy. "Take The Clash, right, they go about politics 'n' everything yet they're on the most capitalist label in the world!"
"A serious rethink"
NME MAY 1 Ahead of a UK tour, Joe Strummer goes missing...
The Clash postponed the first two dates in their "Know Your Rights" UK tour this week - at Aberdeen (Monday) and Inverness (Tuesday) - because lead singer Joe Strummer has gone missing. And the remaining 18 dates in their schedule are in jeopardy, unless he shows up without further delay. Page 40

In spite of setbacks - Joe Strummer going AWoL; topper leaving - things are going better than ever for tHE CLASH. Never mind the Falklands, Combat rock is in the top ten! Page 62
"You Jam fools", Letters comparing Jam to the Clash
After seeing The Jam at the Apollo this week, walking off stage after an hour (they did come back for an encore), it seemed to me that Paul Weller may have his principles mixed up. If The Clash can play for two-and-a-half hours at £3 a show (the Jam was £4.50) then why don't the Jam give a bit more? PAUL GORDON, Wyndway, Carrickfergus, NI (MM Apr 24)
It's quite simple, Paul. What takes Joe Strummer two-and-a-half hours to say, Weller’s got over in the first half-hour and with far more literacy and power – Paolo Hewitt
live review of cure, critises The Clash
The Cure - that's a joke. More like a symptom. Where contemporaries like The Clash play-act toy soldiers, point fingers, stick their necks out and look stupid advocating simplistic slogans, where Killing Joke share and shoulder despondency, offer no glib solutions but rally round nonetheless in blind, bitter anger, The Cure are content to whimper slightly and wallow, mirroring the meaningless mess of our live...

MOJO CLASSIC; ULTIMATE COLLECTORS EDITION
THE CLASH 146 pages
The first issue of Punk Icons unfolds the story of The Clash, from Mick Jones and Paul Simonon poaching Joe Strummer from pub rockers The 101’ers to form the group, to the chaos and destruction of their 1977 White Riot tour; and thereon from the controversial visits to America that inspired the London Calling, Sandinista! and Combat Rock albums, to the dramatic dismissal of first drummer Topper Headon in 1982, and then Jones the following year.
In between you’ll find rucks, riots, ripping tunes and a devotion to all things reggae, as The Clash earned their reputation as rock’s ultimate rebels.

November 2022, Strummer review
From joints in the depature lounge to mayhem on the bus, the last years of JOE STRUMMER were a chaotic, uproarious reiteration of his rock’n’roll code. Along for the ride: a maverick new band, The Mescaleros. Lurking in the backgrounds The Clash, and a momentous legacy to honour and challenge. Twenty years after his death, Pat Gilbert rounds up the gang to salute Strummer’s last stand. “He made you feel invincible,” they remember. Photograph: Birian Rasic
