I never knew John McCain was a Clash fan.
He just can't stop talking about Joe Plumber!

I want to start a plumber themed Clash tribute band. We could call ourselves The Flush, and have songs like "London's Flushing" and "White Porcelain Riot".

2. Don't forget "Bladder Control," "White Urinal in Hammersmith Palais"...
...and, of course, the big MTV hit, "Clog the Toilet."

9. Did you ever see the Scorsese/De Niro movie "The King of Comedy"?
There's a scene where Sandra Bernhard makes an ass out of herself on a busy Manhattan street where a large group gathers to laugh at her.

They camera is on the crowd for a few seconds, and if you look closely, three of the people laughing at her are Joe Strummer, Mick Jones and Paul Simonon.

10. Really?
I didn't pay much attention to the crowd shots (why would I, not knowing this little tidbit?) but thanks for the heads-up!

11. Mick is in the center of the shot, while Paul is to his right.
Joe is in the foreground (to Mick's left), drinking from a bottle, but he's mostly blurred.

Also, in the credits, they're listed as "Street Scum." :rofl:

12. Maybe he could sing "Rock the Casbah"
instead of "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb bomb Iran". :eyes:
