I remember the time right before our Senior summer in High School our band was opening for the Plimsouls at The Whiskey, when Joe Strummer, in town producing for IRS records, saw us and asked if we wanted to tour with the Clash that summer.
I'll never forget the look on his face when you told him that Lefty-Euro-Punk was so 1980, and that we were already signing with Arista and taking some dates with Devo that summer on the college circuit.
But he wasn't through, and we spent the rest of the night, into next morning doing shots of Anjeo Mescal. It was around dawn as I recall that you relented (I thihnk it was about the time he promised our own tour bus) and we had our agent place a pre-dawn call to Mark Mothersbaugh, to tell him we were fucking off to Europe with the Clash for the Summer but would catch up with them for the fall music festivals...
You know the litigation just settled in that case last month? I am still waiting for my check...
