I managed to see Rude Boy, a mock documentary featuring The Clash the other day and I must say, apart from the live performances the movie was crap. But then again, filmed in 1978 you get to see some of their best gigs, so who cares about the movie. They were ferocious on stage, The Clash were. Ferocious. how can I put this correctly.. fuckin' fantastic. and so were their clothes. but. Paul Simonon just blew me away. I went on a manic prowl for pics on the internet but few movie stills came up. So I thought I'd just put the dvd on and take 'em myself.
This blue suit haunts me.
