Middle East Structure, Famously Rocked.

Oh yeah, here's a classic. When you say eighties, this is on your short list of tunes, both essential and toe tapping. Let that cashbah rock.

Headed back to 1982 for this one. The Clash were at their absolute peak, commercialy. Internally, they were on the verge of falling into shards. The song, and it's first line, the one about the raga dropping, came from the band's manager, while suffering through a seemingly unending jam. The foundation of the song came from soon to be ousted drummer Topper Headon, who in a mad dash of creative fervor, knocked out the drums, the piano and bass in one on fire recording session. Then, a little bit later, the band's Joe Strummer, tired of waiting for the rest of the band, went ahead and recorded all the guitar parts himself. So the record is more the work of a duo then the whole band.

EPIC

The song was the Clash's biggest hit i the U.S. charting all the way up at number eight, really cool for a snarly surly punk band from Britain. The video holds local history within it's frames, capturing early eighties Austin and even jets flying over from Bergstrom air force base. Also Burger King. So please now to enjoy your-
