Bollocks! Oh, never mind....
Many moons ago, supervising the door at a gig at my college, I spot Mick Jones of The Clash, *the* band of the moment, looking a little lost. I wandered over and asked "Not coming in then?" He pointed out that he needed to be signed in by the holder of a valid NUS card (we'd had a little problem with non-students trashing the place at previous gigs and we could do that for ourselves, thank you very much!). "No probs" says I, "I'll sign you in". I did, and Mick disappeared, promising to buy me a pint. I didn't believe for a moment he would but, five minutes later, he reappeared with a pint for me. Wow!

We got to talking and it was going well until, in my stupid star-struck mind I though I'd ask "So how did you get to join the Clash?". An icy curtain descended, "I *formed* the Clash" hissed Mick and walked off to talk to someone sensible.

At least I managed to stop myself from calling out "I knew that...."

not really.
Q) who's idea was it to sell out on the punk idea and become pop stars instead?
A) the one who actually wanted to make enough money to move out of his parents place.

Another subject for QOTW?
Witty replies you only managed to think of later. (Thirty-odd years later in this case)

You could have complimented him on his work with Big Audio Dynamite. Would have freaked him right out, a few years later...
