Monday, December 23, 2002 i had my own little rock and roll tribute to joe strummer today. at work, when we have nothing to air on the station, we run a looping powerpoint presentation informing the lovely citizens of oxnard about such things as motor oil recycling or who to call to bitch about your burnt-out streetlights and such. under this spectacular slide show we usually play some of the worst, lamest, most irrelevant to any-fucking-thing-ever honky-jazz. real kenny g type shit. anyway i was alone in the office and i decided to take action. i mercifully pulled the yanni-esque plug and substituted some clash. I started with "police and thieves" and i never looked back. i played clash songs for about 2 1/2 hours never repeating a single song. i derived great pleasure knowing that anyone channel surfing could have stumbled upon "guns of brixton", "spanish bombs" or "know your rights" (you have the right .. ..not to be KILLED... ... MURDER is a CRIME!... ....You have the right to Free Speech!... ... As long as you're not dumb enough to actually TRY IT!....") in place of the muzak-with-a-pulse shit that we usually run. it was silly and maybe meant nothing to anyone. but, it meant a lot to me and maybe someone's day was changed for the better in ways i'll never, ever know. i dunno. it felt good and i'd do it again, coppers. i am remorseless. they'll never take me alive.... posted by downtown | 10:26 PM |
