Any Clash fans?

Its a little more involved than that. He was bascially at boarding schools most of his life, never saw his parents, his older brother committed suicide and he dropped out of art school to roam the country as a hippie. He paid his dues and survived on his own in his adolesence. Not really the life of a provledged dipolomat.

If you grow up in English boarding schools and your father is a diplomat - you're privileged.
Consider the work and what distinguished them from all the forgotten bands of that era: Sophisticated themes, strong writing, an independent global perspective, incorporation of vastly different musical styles - it's the art of the educated.

The only band that matters. Love the Clash

My son did his high school senior presentation project on The Clash. (punk a$$ kid, only kidding). Two of top 10, The Clash and London Calling. I miss the punk music days, don't you? "That's Montgomery Cliff honey!"

My first concert was the Clash. I had fifth row seats and my ears rang for two days. I used to love to slam dance.

Especially considering the social strada England still maintains.

Ok - I'll watch it.
You get two points for being a Clash fan.
