      I loved the Clash. I got to see the Clash during the Sandinista tour. They stopped by Philly and played at some ice rink. The sound was terrible. It was echoing all over the place. The opening act was Burning Spear who were a mellow reggae band. The punks on the floor were ready to slam dance, but reggae isn't very good for that kind of thing. By the time the Clash came on the crowd was all revved up and so was the band. It was a great show.

      So much for a Clash reunion.

      "Death is a Star"

      And I was gripped by that deadly phantom
      I followed him through hard jungles
      As he stalked through the back lots
      Strangling through the night shades

      The thief of life
      Moved onwards and outwards to love

      In a one stop only motel
      A storm bangs on the cheapest room
      The phantom slips in to spill blood
      Even on the sweetest honeymoon

      The killer of love
      Caught the last late Niagara bus

      By chance or escaping from misery
      Bu suddeness or in answer to pain
      Smoking in the dark cinema
      You could see the bad go down again

      And the clouds are high in Spanish mountains
      And a Ford roars through the night full of rain.

      The killer's blood flows
      But he loads his gun again

      Make a grown man cry like a girl
      To see the guns dying at sunset

      In vain lovers claimed
      But they never had met.

        I'm not a super big fan. I didn't recognize the name at first.

        But they were good in their time.

          Reports indicate he died of a heart attack. He is survived by his wife, two daughters and a step daughter, I believe. No funeral plans have been announced, although an autopsy was possible either on Monday or today (Tuesday).
