Spanish bombs.. yo te quiero infinito.. !!

The Clash payed a great homage to the victims of the terrible Spanish Civil War...

and The Clash were not a demagogic band ..

Joe Strummer was trying to bring into attention some injustices of the past and the present..

They were the only ones who ever talked about this terrible episode..

The lyrics remember Federico Garcia Lorca, the late poet shot and killed by Nationalist militia on 19 August 1936.

World War II would began shortly after...

George Orwell who participated in the war as a volunteer would write "Homage to Catalonia" which is another book I yet have to read...

She told me to come but I was already there ...

So I was 15 years old..

went to a record shop..

saw an all black album cover with AC/DC in embossed letters ...

and thought - This must be a good one..

I really couldn't recall how many times I have listened to it..

And all the hours I spent doing it .... weren't wasted.. !!!

... it was just that the time was wrong

They are probably the least cool band in the world..

But these lyrics on Romeo And Juliet are so well written and so bittersweet.. that I listened to them and can see their faces and everything in between

Mark Knopfler was playing live in Barcelona a few weeks ago.. and I went straight to this song.. cause I always loved it.

You know I'm born to lose...

and gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby,
I don't wanna live forever,

The greatest guy screaming his guts ...

No love songs today..
