covering the clash is like covering the beatles: it just shouldnt be done.
green day's 15 minutes were up a long time ago.
actually the clash was covering a bobby fuller song.
(the original can be found in iTMS)
but i agree with the beatles thing, when bono introduced HELTER SKELTER on rattle and hum with the immortal line "here's a song charles manson stole from the beatles and now we're gonna take it back!" i nearly died of laughter.......

sad but true, a whole bunch of kids are going to grow up thinking its a green day tune. while others think its sad not knowing about bobby fuller.
interesting social observation from heavymetal.
