That Endless Clash Combat Rock Series In One Place

For those who missed a chapter or two, or just want easy access in one go.

So, yes. The Tim “Napalm” Stegall Substack has moved on to other topics, such as that Bowie documentary, or the inauguration later this week of our Q-and-A series with Keith Morris (Black Flag/Circle Jerks/OFF!…like you need his CV). I SWEAR, we have put a period on that Clash Combat Rock series! But some readers didn’t get the message it was a multi-part series, only reading one or another of the chapters and ignoring the rest. Others have expressed that they want to read the whole thing and need easier access. For the sake of convenience, here are links to the entire series, collected in this one post:

Part One - Speaking King’s English In Quotation: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love The Clash’s Combat Rock

Part Two - The Clash: Letting That Raga Drop For Fun and Profit

Part Three - One day is fine, the next is black: How The Clash ripped themselves apart the moment they stepped into stardom

Part Four - “Joe didn’t want to be a product”: The (near-)end of The Clash

Part Five - Guess my race is run: The end of The Clash

This Friday: The Keith Morris Interview, Part One…available ONLY to paid subscribers! That’s right – all interviews will only be available to those who directly support The Tim “Napalm” Stegall Substack with a paid subscription! And c’mon, $5 per month is an affordable price to receive the wit and wisdom of Keith Morris, Jesse Dayton, Michael Monroe and Lydia Lunch (among those initially lined-up for our queries). See you then!

BONUS: The Clash as I remember them! The “I Fought The Law” clip, from Rude Boy — enjoy!
