Sue!

I didn't know about the watch.  I love details like that.  The blurred action 
in the background is a roadie going after a guy who jumped on stage.
The type design at first seemed odd for a band like the Clash, but when a 
friend showed me the Elvis cover it all made sense.  I think the last studio 
release by Green Day has the same layout too.  
The best cover art homage (especially now) is of all things Supertramp's 
"Breakfast In America".  The cover shows the view from a jet window.  The 
waitress is The Statue of Liberty, the place settings make up the New York 
Skyline and docks.  Pretty darn clever.

As far as great gigs go, here's a great moment from the Clash in Boston.  My 
friends and I scaled a fire escpae and my friend George got into the dressing 
room and started a conversation with the band.  After a few minutes he asked 
Joe Strummer if a some of the group could come in too.  Joe said "Hell, let 
them all in"  And with that Joe helped each of us in and handed us all beers. 
 Awlright!

<< Hey, that Clash cover is one of my favorites...some trivia....did you know

that the cover

was homage to the design of Elvis Presley's first album? - the very same

pink and green lettering ....Paul Simonon smashed his watch when he smashed

that bass guitar and then gave the watch to Pennie Smith as a keepsake?


...and Im jealous of all the great gigs some of you have experienced too :)
