    The biggest waste of your money is your $150-$200 per month cable bill. You probably can get 30 digital channels for free with a $20 antenna, not to mention your increased productivity from not watching TrashTV like TeenMom and Jersey Shore all day.

    So there is $2k to spend per year on high priced concerts, or other activities you might enjoy. You are never gonna be 65 years old telling stories of the episodes of Flip This House you saw in 2012, but you might have some good memories of seeing Rush, the Who, the Stones, etc to share.

    Disclaimer: I can afford cable, but been cable free for 4 years on principal.

    I wouldn't mind seeing them, but I'm just bored as f**k of this setlist no matter who is in the band. The only song I'd be really excited to hear is Fly From Here to be honest, the rest I've seen a million times already.

    luckily this will be my first yes show

    i could name a bunch of punk bands with melody but i mean, there's not much use in that, is there?

    People who are looking for melody in punk bands are kind of missing the point...

    yeah if it's melodic and it sounds good i take it as an added bonus but i never seek out melody in punk rock

    Aye it's a bonus prize at best...

    When The Clash first came out, I didn't get or appreciate all the fascination Rolling Stone and other rock magazines raved about them. I was just into Rush & Yes prog concept rock. Clash and the like, completely on the other end of the spectrum. As i got older and get "The working class activist kind of song writing" wink.gif Goob.. I like the music of Woody Guthrie and Springsteen all branches from the same tree. I rediscovered how really good The Clash were years after the band no longer exist. Strong working ethic Clash known putting on marathon shows they would frequently change there set list at the spur of the moment, beckon back to rock shows of early days.
    Agree with ReRushed London Calling awesome album.
    Funny, Mick Jones was asked what he thought about The Alarm at one time and said There like the foil covering a chocolate bar all shiny but not the real thing.
    Mike Peters of The Alarm was sad.gif when he heard this because The Clash was a band they looked up to.

    yeah the clash dissed a ton of bands, i suspect a lot of it was just for publicity, i know for a fact they put down led zeppelin quite often

    The thing about the Clash is they appear to be a bandwagon punk band for rock fans...

    Maybe cuz they're one of only 2 punk bands (The Ramones) that actually were musically talented enough to write songs with real melody?

    (I'm sure there at least one or two others but they haven't yet come to mind.......)

    musical ignorance isn't cool no matter how old you are, sorry man
