IGNORE ALIEN ORDERS

 

 

The philosophical notion of a "sense of place," unexplained "place experiences" linked psychologically to the footsteps and the spirit of The Clash, underpins this pictorial and informative journey...

 
 

The British Punk movement was initiated by the Sex Pistols..........and on December 1st 1976........the Thames T.V.'s tea-time programme Today show gave them more notoriety....and Punk rock became the 20th century's second great youth rebellion after rock'n'roll

Dear Mr. Whistance,
I wonder if you could please help me with a Clash location question?
I'm going to London in a few weeks and am intending to check out quite a few Clash places (mainly courtesy of the information on your excellent website!), however I'm stuck for a couple which I'd love to visit but can't find anything about online; The riot scene on the rear of the first album, and the street on the front of Black Market Clash. I'm assuming they're somewhere in the vicinity of Ladbroke Grove?
If you could help out it would be really appreciated, and be the icing on the cake for my trip!

Again, thank you in advance if you can help out with the street locations,

Very best wishes,


J.C.(1.12.13)

Hello Don,
That sounds like a good idea and will add the link. I have been on your site before but it is so extensive that I have not found the time to go through it all. It must have taken you a long time to put together and no doubt was a labour of love. I wonder why you never put it in a book.... But then so many people have wondered the same about myself. For me, it is very complicated and involves out-dated human delusions such as 'loyalty' 'integrity' 'sell-out'....
Maybe we could collaborate on a post - just a few juicy titbits from schooldays? It would help promote both our sites.

Don,
I enjoyed your web sites! I have always been a big fan of Steve McQueen and the Great Escape and of the Clash!
 
 
Being a freelance photographer for NME and Rolling Stone magazines, I always documented the British Bands performing in San Francisco.
And I always enjoyed hanging out and photographing the Clash.
British NME writers Adrian Thrills and Barney Hoskyns stayed at my apartment in SF and we worked on articles for NME.
Keep up the good work and I enjoyed reading about Joe.
Thanks for turning me on to your sites!
Cheers!
Chester Simpson
