The Rise and Fall of the Clash

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE CLASH
There’s precious little “rise” in this autopsy of the tragic slow death of the Only Band That Mattered. Surviving parties (including a magnanimous Mick Jones) mostly blame Svengali manager Bernie Rhodes’ ill-advised, narcissistic machinations, while tales of the late Joe Strummer’s ultimate contrition only add to the mournful tone.
