This masterpiece was released OTD, April 8th, in 1977.
Not only is this record one of the best albums ever (IMO), it’s in the conversation of one of the best debut albums of all time. #theclash

Had a great time speaking w/ @stacilayne.bsky.social about my book, SLACKER - 1991, Teen Spirit Angst, and the Generation It Created.
We discussed the early 90s grunge takeover of music & culture, the importance of lyrics in music, mental health, & more.

“All the power's in the hands
Of people rich enough to buy it
While we walk the street
Too chicken to even try it” - White Riot/The Clash
One of the many reasons they earned the title of “The only band that matters”.

“I have amazing memories of making that record. Most days, Chris [Cornell] would come in with a new song. We would wrap our heads around it, & it was so easy & free that it almost felt like it was somebody else flowing us the songs. It came from such a good place, too.”

Call me crazy, but when a convicted felon KNOWN for cheating people, scamming people, and having to close his Foundation and University for fraud says he wants to go to Fort Knox to see if "someone stole the gold," my Spidey sense starts tingling.
You can't trust that fucker.

Great to see that Ozzy is well enough to play a final show. And that he’s getting a ton of great support for the send off. 🤘
