That’s not your fathers accountant.
Nor is it your broker or your doctor
That my friends is one of the coolest, most fantastic musicians of all time.
That is Mr. Mick Jones age 55.
Guitarist for the Clash, half of Strummer and Jones.
Iman can tell you stories, I can tell you very different stories.
I think we can both agree that Mick was and is a major player in the transformation of rock and roll.
After The Clash Mick went funky and created Big Audio Dynamite.
I loved them, still do.
News up that B.A.D are up and running and ready to tour.
My heart spiked.
From 1985-1990 they threw down some rather interesting stuff and never really got the mass attention I personally feel they should have.
Jones told BBC6 Music:
“I left The Clash in 1983, club music was coming up and hip-hop was sort of just starting.
“I found myself in a club with Don and Leo [Williams – bass guitar] and I thought ‘I would really love to make the sort of music I would hear in a place like this’.
“And I just felt like I was in a group again. I’d been through this terrible whirlwind with The Clash. We never stopped for a moment and in the end we all became infected with a madness.”
And fame and the cash flow to bankroll another venture but lets not get trivial.
B.A.D will tour the UK then hit Coachella.
Then they better book more US dates.
You’ll hear me scream if they do.
