- Unless that song is very different from everything else I've heard
- from The Clash, I'd be inclined to doubt it. The song I heard did not sound
- at all like the Clash-- and it definitely had a reggae/ska sound.

- Anything is possible, of course. I'll go borrow that album from a
- friend and see if it is the song I'm looking for. If it is, I'll post
- that info.
