The Clash – Revolution Rock
London Calling is the third album by English punk rock band The Clash, released 14 December 1979, on CBS Records in the UK and in January 1980 on Epic Records in the United States. The album represented a change in The Clash’s musical style, and featured elements of ska, pop, soul, rockabilly and reggae music. The album’s subject matter included unemployment, racial conflict, drug use, and the responsibilities of adulthood.
The album received highly positive reviews and was ranked at number eight on Rolling Stone’ list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2003.London Calling was a top ten album in the UK, and its lead single “London Calling” was a top twenty single.It has sold over two million copies worldwide,and was certified platinum in the United States.
After recording their 1978 album Give ‘Em Enough Rope in the United States, the band separated from their manager Bernard Rhodes.This separation meant that the band had to leave their rehearsal studio in Camden Town and find another location to compose their music. Drawing inspiration from rockabilly, ska, reggae and jazz,the band began work on the album during the summer of 1979. Tour manager Johnny Green had found the band a new place to rehearse called Vanilla Studios in Pimlico, which was located in the back of a garage.The band quickly wrote and recorded demos, with Jones composing and arranging much of the music and Strummer supplying the lyrics.
In August 1979, the band entered Wessex Studios to begin recording London Calling. The Clash asked Guy Stevens to produce the album, much to the dismay of CBS Records.Stevens had alcohol and drug problems and his production methods were unconventional.While recording he would often swing ladders and throw chairs around the band to create an emotional atmosphere.The entire album was recorded within a matter of weeks, with many songs recorded in one or two takes.
The album’s cover features a photograph of Simonon smashing his Fender Precision Bass against the stage at The Palladium in New York City on 21 September 1979 during the “Clash Take the Fifth” US tour.Pennie Smith, who photographed the band for the album, originally did not want the photograph to be used. She thought that it was too out of focus, but Strummer and graphic designer Ray Lowry thought it would make a good album cover.In 2002, Smith’s photograph was named the best rock and roll photograph of all time by Q magazine, commenting that “it captures the ultimate rock’n'roll moment – total loss of control”.
The cover artwork was designed by Lowry and was a homage to the design of Elvis Presley’s debut album.The cover was named the ninth best album cover of all time by Q magazine in 2001.

To what extent has racial and ethnic conflict been the primary cause of tension in the world since 1917?
Racism was an important part of National Socialism, but recall that "National SOCIALISM" is the official name of the NAZI philosophy. Socialism, not racism, has been a far more important contributor to world tension since 1917.

Racial jokes in todays youth good or bad you decide?
Alright… at schools everywhere kids are spreading numerous jokes about ethnicity social status and gender. Some say they are harmless, promote acceptance of differences but some believe that they are hurtful and inflict racial conflict. Good or bad you decide.
i dont think they present any good perceptions or values at all. I had this happen the other day a teen came up to me and for what ever reason (probably thinking i would think its funny or see how i would react) goes into these real racist black jokes and im just hurting inside. I told him they were NOT funny and the ppl who he heard these jokes from are insecure and possibly racist. (i say possibly because i wasn’t sure if they were children or adults). As it turns out they were other teen boys. perpetuating stereo types VIA jokes is just ignorant and we cannot move forward as human race without giving basic respect to one another. I explained it and i dont believe he will repeat the jokes. In a way im happy he did because i know my opinion will trump other teen boys opinions. So at least it presented an opportunity to talk with him about the subject of maturity and respect for one another.

My Greatest Concerns for America (Reggie from Ketchikan, AK)
-Manufacturing towns will be hard the hardest
-Towns that rely on one business or industry
EXAMPLE
Flint, MI
(GM shut down factories and plants)
Aftermath Phases
1.White people leave (this timeitll be rich people)
2.All related industries start to cut jobs
3.Shops, diners, malls, customer service, food industries shut down
4.Working and middle class filing for unemployment
5.The college educated people cant get high end or low end jobs. The non-college educated workers dont get jobs because job turnover plummets. A lot of employers start exploiting vulnerable workers. Sexual harassment increases. It becomes harder to leave jobs.
6.Violence crime rises. Robberies, murders, assaults
7.Upscale turns off. Some ex-Middle class workers start running scams. These are people who are too proud to scale down. Look for increase in ID theft.
8.The school system collapses. Police officers and fire fighters get laid out. Gangs take over neighbors.
9.Ethnic and racial groups turn on one another.
10. Extreme law enforcement policies
Three Biggest Concerns about the next Five years
1.Racial Conflict (if things get worse, people will want to blame somebodyand that somebody will be Obama)
2.Hyper Inflation (millions of Americans could everything and seek revenge)
3.Terrorist Attack
