Clash…of the Titans

I stumbled across this picture today.

Really, what's not to love?

It’s The Clash’s Paul Simonon. And I was reminded of hearing “Should I Stay or Should I Go” on the radio when I was in the 2nd grade. The Clash, The Pretenders, Blondie, The Ramones, The Police…It almost seemed as if there was too much wonderful music to take it all in. But I did what I could and still am collecting tunes over the years. There’s newer blood: Foo Fighters, Cage The Elephant, Them Crooked Vultures, The Raconteurs. But how do we find out about the Next Big Thing in this post-modern music landscape devoid of the beautiful eclecticism of AM radio. Does FM even play music anymore or is it all conservative talk shows? And if you haven’t seen ’em live do you even know who you’re listening to? Discuss.
