"The horses are on the track."
Who would have imagined that from the ashes of The Clash, Mick Jones would come up with something like Big Audio Dynamite? I guess it's wrong to say "the ashes of The Clash" because he was fired and the band soldiered on with final and truly terrible album. Terrible, that is, apart from the track This is England, which is quite good. At the time, I thought that BAD defied belief, but this was the mid-1980s so that may explain the musical direction. Or, maybe Jones was giving the finger to The Clash. In any case, this is a really great album and much better than the Clash's swansong.
