With The Simpsons you can go back to work with a keen heart.
From Joe Strummer
The only place I considered home was the boarding school, in Yorkshire, my parents sent me to.
I only saw my father twice a year. If I'd seen him all the time I'd probably have murdered him by now. He was very strict.
The hippy movement was a failure.
All hippies around now just represent complete apathy.
I found that I was just hopeless at school. It was just a total bore. First, I passed in art and English, and then just art. Then I passed out.
To me, our music is like Jamaican stuff - if they can't hear it, they're not supposed to hear it. It's not for them if they can't understand it.
I get on all right with my parents. But I don't see them very much. They split up when I was eight. I stayed with my mum, but I felt it was a bit soft with her. I could do whatever I liked, and I wasn't getting nowhere, so I went to stay with my dad.
We sing in English, not mimicking some American rock singer's accent. That's just pretending to be something you ain't.
The hippy movement was a failure. All hippies around now just represent complete apathy. There's a million good reasons why the thing failed, OK. But the only thing we've got to live with is that it failed.
