看著電影<搖滾爺奶>中那個sexy granny唱著 should I stay or should go ...迷人得很...
在攝影作品中...我很喜歡看那些白髮蒼蒼微笑著大笑著的老人家...那是歲月的眼睛...
貼完...要出門上班去了...
其實...我非常喜歡老人...而且是那種很老的微笑老人...

punk Funk
Punk Funk 出現於 80 年代初期,將 funk 元素融合龐克或後龐克,很像另一種名為 dance-punk 的曲風,有時龐克特徵會被另類搖滾的元素取代, 1979 年 Gang Of Four 發行的首張專輯 Entertainment! 便是 punk funk 的源頭, Talking Heads, Blondie, Rick James 與 The Clash 的音樂讓 punk funk 更流行,其他代表樂團還有 The Big Boys 與 Xavion.

The Clash were an English punk rock band that formed in 1976 as part of the original wave of British punk. Along with punk, their music incorporated elements of reggae, ska, dub, funk, rap, dance, and rockabilly. For most of their recording career, The Clash consisted of Joe Strummer (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Mick Jones (lead guitar, vocals), Paul Simonon (bass guitar, backing vocals, occasional lead vocals) and Nicky "Topper" Headon (drums, percussion). Headon left the group in 1982, and internal friction led to Jones's departure the following year. The group continued with new members, but finally disbanded in early 1986.
The Clash achieved commercial success in the United Kingdom with the release of their debut album, The Clash, in 1977. Their third album, London Calling, released in the UK in December 1979, brought them popularity in the United States when it came out there the following month. Critically acclaimed, it was declared the best album of the 1980s a decade later by Rolling Stone magazine.[1]
The Clash's politicized lyrics, musical experimentation and rebellious attitude had a far-reaching influence on rock, alternative rock in particular.[2] They became widely referred to as "The Only Band That Matters", originally a promotional slogan introduced by the group's record label, CBS. In January 2003, the band—including original drummer Terry Chimes—were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked The Clash number 30 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.[3]
On December 1st 2010 it was announced that a Film is to be made about the making of London Calling, that is also to be called London Calling.[1]
Legacy and influence
In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked The Clash number 30 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.[3] According to The Times, The Clash's debut, alongside Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols, is "punk's definitive statement" and London Calling "remains one of the most influential rock albums".[66] In Rolling Stone's 2003 list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, London Calling ranked number 8, the highest entry by a punk band. The Clash was number 77 and Sandinista! was number 404.[71] In the magazine's 2004 list of the 500 greatest songs of all time, "London Calling" ranked number 15, again the highest for any song by a punk band. Four other Clash songs made the list: "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" (228), "Train In Vain" (292), "Complete Control" (361), and "White Man In Hammersmith Palais" (430).[72] "London Calling" ranked number 48 in the magazine's 2008 list of the 100 greatest guitar songs of all time.[73]
In John Robb's description, The Clash's debut established the "blueprint for the sound and the soul of what punk rock would be about.... The Clash were utterly inspirational, utterly positive, and they offered a million possibilities."[74] Jake Burns of Stiff Little Fingers, the first major punk band from Northern Ireland, explained the record's impact:
[T]he big watershed was The Clash album—that was go out, cut your hair, stop mucking about time, y'know. Up to that point we'd still been singing about bowling down California highways. I mean, it meant nothing to me. Although The Damned and the Pistols were great, they were only exciting musically; lyrically, I couldn't really make out a lot if it.... [T]o realise that [The Clash] were actually singing about their own lives in West London was like a bolt out of the blue.[75]
The Clash also inspired many musicians who were only loosely associated, if at all, with punk. The band's political commentary inspired both Tom Morello and Zach de la Rocha to form Rage Against the Machine. Tom Morello was personally invited to induct The Clash into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. Since RATM's reunion in 2007, they have been known to play Clash covers such as Clampdown and White Riot. Additionally, Tom Morello's sideproject Street Sweeper Social Club covers "Paper Planes", a song written by MIA but heavily samples "Straight to Hell" from The Clash's follow up to London Calling[citation needed]. The band's embrace of ska, reggae and England's Jamaican subculture helped provide the impetus for the 2 Tone movement that emerged amid the fallout of the punk explosion.[76] Other musicians who began performing while The Clash were active and acknowledged their debt to the band include Billy Bragg and Aztec Camera.[77] U2's The Edge has compared The Clash's inspirational effect to that of the Ramones—both gave young rock musicians at large the "sense that the door of possibility had swung open."[78] He wrote, "The Clash, more than any other group, kick-started a thousand garage bands across Ireland and the U.K.... [S]eeing them perform was a life-changing experience."[3] Bono has described The Clash as "the greatest rock band. They wrote the rule book for U2."[79]
In later years, The Clash's influence can be heard in American political punk bands such as Rancid, Anti-Flag, Bad Religion and NOFX, as well as in the political hard rock of early Manic Street Preachers.[80] California's Rancid, in particular, are known as "incurable Clash zealots".[81] The title track of the band's album Indestructible proclaims, "I'll keep listening to that great Joe Strummer!"[82] The Clash's involvement with Jamaican musical and production styles has inspired similar cross-cultural efforts by bands such as Bad Brains, Massive Attack, Sublime and No Doubt.[83] They are credited with laying the groundwork for LCD Soundsystem's "punk-funk".[84] Jakob Dylan of The Wallflowers ranked London Calling above the work of his father, Bob Dylan, as the record that “changed his life”.[66] Bands identified with the garage rock revival of the late 1990s and 2000s such as Sweden's The Hives, Australia's The Vines and America's The White Stripes and The Strokes evidence The Clash's influence.[85] Among the many latter-day British acts identified as having been inspired by The Clash are Babyshambles, The Futureheads, The Charlatans and The Arctic Monkeys.[84] Before M.I.A. had an international hit in 2008 with "Paper Planes", which is built around a sample from "Straight to Hell", she referenced "London Calling" on 2003's "Galang".[84] A cover of "The Guns of Brixton" by German punk band Die Toten Hosen was released as a single in 2006.
The band has also had a notable impact on music in the Spanish-speaking world. In 1997, a Clash tribute album featuring performances by Buenos Aires punk bands was released.[86] Many rock en espanol bands such as Todos Tus Muertos, Cafe Tacuba, Maldita Vecindad, Los Prisioneros, Tijuana No, and Attaque 77 are indebted to The Clash.[87][88] Argentina's Los Fabulosos Cadillacs covered London Calling's "Revolution Rock" and "The Guns of Brixton" and invited Mick Jones to sing on their "Mal Bicho".[88] The Clash's influence is similarly reflected in Paris-founded Mano Negra's politicized lyrics and fusion of musical styles.
