On a bill topped by The Clash, the stellar support includes The Prefects, Subway Sect, Buzzcocks and The Jam. It’s a life-changing evening. Buzzcocks play their twisted love vignettes with speed and precision and The Jam display the strength and intensity that will make them the biggest band in Britain within a few years. But The Clash are something else altogether.

On the first count because it’s a very well thought out piece that presents a great snapshot of being a Clash fan from the early days to the present. Secondly it’s local to me – Tucson being 110 miles through the desert from Phoenix, the Tucson Citizen is one of many print papers that sadly has seen these changing times curtail it’s very existence.
