I have an idea.

The whole "What has been happening lately" threads have grown tiresome. I would like to start a new subject. One that really matters. Is the following possible?? I mean, it IS possible, but would it be any good? I agree with the article, if anyone could pull it off, it would be Tim Armstrong.

Or, if this holds no interest to you, feel free to talk about football.

The Clash to Play with Rancid?s Tim Armstrong?

Joe Strummer

Could it be? Could Rancid?s Tim Armstrong join up with The Clash to record an album? Chicago?s ?Sun Times? newspaper thinks it?s possible.

Journalist Jim DeRogatis briefly mentions it in his ?most anticipated albums for 2006? column here: http://www.suntimes.com/output/derogatis/wkp-news-live06.html.

So could it happen? Paul Simonon was quoted in Rolling Stone magazine as saying the Clash wouldn?t have reformed even if Joe [Strummer] was alive for the Rock ?n? Roll Hall of Fame induction.

So if Simonon?s morality is still there, it looks like the best you could hope for is a collaboration of the remaining members with Armstrong, but it would have to be under a different name or it just couldn?t be taken seriously.

Doesn't seem like a smart match to me, but I guess I would really have to hear it before I could call it crap.
What is with everyone trying to come back all of a sudden? Last year we had the Doors with whatever they are calling themselves, D-something another. Don't they know their talent died? Or at the very least is hiding out in France? Poor choice of country in my opinion, hope he's moved.

Weird note on the topic of music, past three concerts I have been to:
ZZ Top. KISS. Tom Petty.
Boy was I born a couple decades too late.
