Their two gigs were originally scheduled to take place on the 5 and 6 February 1984 but were rescheduled to the 13 and 14 March of that year. Although neither Mick Jones nor Topper Headon was in the line-up by that stage, they were still the best live band on the planet. I think I remember guitarist Vince (Greg) White falling into the crowd.

Leicester soon raced into a 12-0 lead with two tries in the opening few minutes. It too Bath some time to get going in the match.
if you turned your head to the left (or in either set to your right) you would see the triboro bridge, both connecting to ward island. the hell's gate bridge was dedicated to train use, although it didn't look operational this particular night in july. I had some challenge with the low light.

It was the death of punk but many would disagree. Two years before the release of "Combat Rock" and the rest of the U.S. fell in love with the Clash, in New York City the band was all the rave.
New Yorkers anxiously awaited the seventeen night engagement at Bond's and I attended eight out of seventeen. It was some great nights, especially the first May 28th show, before the FDNY caught the promoters overselling the show. Punk may have died but the mosh pit was still very much alive.

Cultura Polícia / Culture Police (View On Black)
— I Fought The Law, by The Clash
The words Cultura Polícia that you see here aren't necessarily connected. They might be, but if they are, then the author has deliberately violated Portuguese grammar. Not something that is unheard of, I'm sure. (Portuguese grammar follows essentially the same pattern as other Romance Languages.) The correct grammatical way to say Culture Police, where the words are connected so that they convey the idea of "policing culture" is Polícia da Cultura (Police of the Culture). And, to be annoyingly correct, it would have to be A Polícia da Cultura (The Police of the Culture), because the definite article (a = the; da = of the) would be required. This is how Romance languages work.
Again, because these are just two words painted on a wall, and because we don't know the author's intent, it could also be that the meaning meant to be conveyed (due to the word order, Cultura Polícia) is "the culture of police," which is obviously different and which would actually be A Cultura da Polícia (The Culture of the Police) in Portuguese.
Or, it could be that some older graffiti previously connected to these words has been painted over and we will never know what the author meant at all. (Whew! After all that, I feel like I've just indulged myself in some linguistic archaeology. :P LOL!)
Portuguese, as I've just indicated, is one of the Romance Languages. That is, one of the languages descended from the Latin of the Romans: primarily, Italian, Romanian, French, Spanish, Catalan, and Portuguese.
The term "Romance" comes from the Vulgar Latin adverb romanice, derived from Romanicus: for instance, in the expression romanice loqui¹, "to speak in Roman" (that is, the Latin vernacular), contrasted with latine loqui, "to speak in Latin" (Medieval Latin, the conservative version of the language used in writing and formal contexts or as a lingua franca), and with barbarice loqui, "to speak in Barbarian" (the non-Latin languages of the peoples that conquered the Roman Empire). From this adverb the noun romance originated, which applied initially to anything written romanice, or "in the Roman vernacular".
The word romance with the modern sense of romance novel or love affair has the same origin. In the medieval literature of Western Europe, serious writing was usually in Latin, while popular tales, often focusing on love, were composed in the vernacular and came to be called "romances".

(It should be noted that the graffiti in this image was next door—to the right, actually—to the previous photo.)
_____
¹ Loqui - Loquacious circ. 1667, from stem of Latin loquax (gen. loquacis) "talkative," from loqui "to speak," of unknown origin. Loquacity is much earlier (12c.), from L. loquacitatem "talkativeness," from loquax.
I'm not just a word-nerd, I'm also an etymology-nerd (etymology: 1. the derivation of a word; 2. an account of the history of a particular word or element of a word; 3. the study of historical linguistic change, esp. as manifested in individual words). I've found that you can learn the most fascinating things by just browsing through a good dictionary, or even by just paying close attention to the etymologies of words.
The Clash, ‘Know Your Rights’, 1982. The band were on their last legs. They’d cracked the US but the day-to-day grind of touring had taken its toll. Tired, burnt out, Topper on heroin. The thrill had gone. The band’s contract was for 10 albums. They’d done two single albums, a double album and a triple album. Effectively 7 albums’ worth of material, which the record company counted as only 4 releases. They ‘owed’ another 6 albums. The band didn’t know: “I owe my soul to the company store”. The 16 Tons Tour was named after that song’s lyric. Back in the day, in the deep South of the USA, black workers weren’t paid in money. The companies that employed them provided housing and ‘credit’ at the Company Store, deducting wages at source to cover costs. Workers never earned enough to save money. Indeed, as late as 1965, Martin Luther King met black workers who’d never actually held a dollar bill in their hands.
This was a single from fifth album, ‘Combat Rock’. The cover nails it; ‘The Future is Unwritten’. A raw rockabilly guitar thrash with Uncle Joe snarling, laying down the law. I prefer this to ‘Should I Stay or Should I Go’ or ‘Rock the Casbah’ from the album – the ‘punk’ tunes you’re allowed to like. They don’t play ‘Know Your Rights’ at weddings…
Devonshire House Union street London SE1, venue of the Joe Strummer Foundation "Strummerville" gig and exhibition this evening. 18/11/16.
The Dequindre Cut always provides a ton of shooting opportunities.
The lines in this shot were impossible to straighten, the road is on an incline, etc. When in doubt blame the lens ( inside joke ).
To mark the 40th Anniversary of the Clash playing at the Corn Exchange in Bury St Edmunds , London Calling a tribute band played at the Apex.
