And I'd *just* taken the time, for some reason.... though I hadn't gotten very far. But as a teen who played "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" both in a band and in the car stereo until the tape wore through, I certainly was familiar with the band. "Rock the Casbah" of course made it, and every once in a while "London Calling." When Big Audio Dynamite released "The Bottom Line" it was a smash dance hit and is on the same dance compilation tape as "Bring On The Dancing Horses" -- the one what brung me -- though I know that's Mick Jones' gig, I knew then he'd been in The Clash.... I went out to eat tonight and asked the 20-something waitress if she knew of The Clash. She said "the 80s band?" I said yeah, that their lead singer had died and I was bummed out over it. (Don't know how to put "gutted" into American English.) She went on to say did I know of Stereolab (I nodded) and the death of Mary Hansen (I nodded again) "who was *way* younger than 50" (as if that made Strummer positively ancient) -- Mary was 36, a year older than I am. She said "lots of people dying out there, be careful...." made me feel like a Merry Christmas. Sometimes I feel like holding everyone near and dear to me, and I imagine them holding their loved ones, and hoping that the whole world would end up in one big global group hug because life is too short and we don't know when it will end for any one given person. - --Amy ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ End of seven-seas-digest V1 #96 *******************************
