The Shareef Don't Like It

I'm a big Clash fan. Those are some fun guys and they did fun things with their instruments. Though I'm more partial to the blood spattering Birthday Party and Pop Group art deco death punk - in the realm of political punk the Clash are the best.

London Calling is the crown of their career: Apparently it's also an anathema to the Crown's best blue bobbies and English cabbies.

A Englishman was pulled from a plane last week after a
cabbie reported him to authorities for singing along to the Clash.
Harraj
Mann, 24, hopped in a cab heading for the Durham Tees Valley Airport Wednesday
to catch a flight to London. As luck would have, his cab was outfitted with an
adapter that allowed him to plug in his MP3 player.
Together Mann and the
driver enjoyed Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade Of Pale." But
soon things turned sour. Suddenly the driver was sitting in horrified silence as
Mann played Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant
Song."
When Mann sang along with punk legends The Clash's "London
Calling," with its warnings "Now war is declared -- and battle come down"
and "meltdown expected," the scared cabbie could do nothing but wait.
"He
didn't like Led Zeppelin or The Clash but I don't think there was any need to
tell the police," Mann told the Daily Mirror.
After the idiot dropped off
Mann, he called the authorities. The police did their part by pulling Mann from
his flight and taking him in for questioning.

Fine, first I want to know why we cannot arrest people who listen to Queensryche. Second I want to arrest anyone who purchases Chinese Democracy if it ever sees the light of day.
