sANDY pEARLMAN'S production really did suck the life out of "Rope". I wish someone would remix it.

Punk was a small world, built upon rock'n'roll's larger world. Strummer loved rockabilly, soul, reggae, r&b, jump, jazz, conjuncto, country, blues, etc, so it was only natural that the US would provide the larger canvas. They may have sold out punk, but in the process made some great rock'n'roll. If they had been sloppier and more obscure in their love and execution of the musics they would be lauded ala the Cramps, Mekons, etc.

Any way the Clash left so Weller could be the big fish:)
