I remember when this song was released. But I did not know at the time the story behind it. (It seems The Clash were more aware of current events than I was. :-) )
From only these first few Music TY Ears posts, I've already learned much about these songs. Just as with your Lyrics Series, I'm finding it all very educational.
Hope you, too, find them educational and interesting.
Surely, I find your entries quite interesting and educative. Thanks for showcasing this great but underrated music.
I am also thinking of contributing a few Nigerian songs to this ongoing series, if you don't mind. I will discuss with you later. Cheers!
