I didn't get that personally. There was enough going on that made you see the band was not doing well. Paul openly criticized George, basically telling him his songs sucked, or trying to get him to change things (again, the underlying theme was they aren't good enough). John came and went, sometimes showing up hours after he was supposed to and obviously high. The quitting and walkout by George was covered heavily. None of them could agree on a venue for the live show. Sure it was upbeat when the writing process was going well or during the outstanding jam sequences, but there was always a tension in the air. Like I said, the only one always cool as a cucumber was good old Ringo (and even he had complaints).

David Bowie[edit]
English musician David Bowie recorded the song in 1971, produced by Ken Scott, under the title "Round and Round". Originally slated for inclusion on his 1972 album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, it was ousted by "Starman" at the last minute.[4] Regarding the song, Bowie stated in 1972: "It would have been the kind of number that Ziggy would have done onstage...He jammed it for old times' sake in the studio, and our enthusiasm for it probably waned after we heard it a few times. We replaced it with a thing called 'Starman'. I don't think it's any great loss, really."[4] "Round and Round" was eventually released as the B-side of the single "Drive-In Saturday" in April 1973. The original single mix was included on the compilations Rare (1982) and Re:Call 1, part of the Five Years (1969–1973) compilation (2015). Alternate mixes were included on Bowie's Sound + Vision box sets (1989, 2003) and on the bonus disc of the Ziggy Stardust - 30th Anniversary Reissue (2002). Bowie also performed it live on 3 July 1973 at the final concert of the Ziggy Stardust Tour, featuring Jeff Beck on guitar.[4] The song was not included in the D. A. Pennebaker-directed film of the concert or the accompanying soundtrack album
I realize it's sacrilege, but I was never a Bob Marley fan, nor am I much for true reggae. I respect it as an idiom.
I got my reggae through a filter of The Clash,
Not really reggae, but a favorite,

Maybe next year.
First four Van Halen albums are phenomenal, especially some of the deeper cuts, though the hits are hits for obvious reasons.

And with that comment about reggae you are now on ignore...lol. Big clash fan here. My only album was combat rock. I pretty much like every song on that album. I will check out the Roxy video. Thanks for sharing.

KEYS HISTORY: ‘EVERYONE’S TALKIN’ ABOUT SUMMERLAND KEY
Weird things happen in the Florida Keys. Some of these odd occurrences can occasionally appear to have a paranormal connection, which makes sense considering that Key West is said to be one of the most haunted cities in the United States. Grabbing on to the idea that Key West, occasionally...

To me, for what it's worth, their first album is uneven but there's some good stuff on there, and features a favorite cover of "I Fought the Law,"
London Calling is a great double album, as I'm sure you know. That's my favorite,
Anyone remember the SNL knock off Fridays?
I seem to recall that Sandinista! was a three album effort, though in truth I never listened to it,

Combat Rock came out in '82, my freshman year at Emerson. It was a huge U.S. success, and that was it for them. They broke up shortly thereafter,

Complete Control is still the greatest punk song ever and White Man in Hammersmith Palais is the Clash's Freebird.
Give a listen to Give 'Em Enough Rope, the lesser known second album. I think it has some underrated gems on it. It's sort of the crossover from the first to London Calling, where they slowed down, learned to play their instruments a little, and delved into things besides power chords and dub beats.

Was the annual Police Picnic a thing for anyone? It was in Toronto 1980s.

Perfect timing ... my sister is heading to the Keys! Thanks for sharing. BTW a great series to watch "based in the Keys" is Bloodline. Might be one of my favourite series next to Breaking Bad.
Love Complete Control...excellent choice for top punk songs. We should take a trip down punk rock classics one fine day.
Holy pooh, I totally forgot about The Police. Loved 'em,
More to come, he threatened,

Good one...
I recently came across this gem and I can't stop listen n...might be my favourite.
Believe it or not I don't know that one. Never even heard it. Will check, thank you.
Moving away from the reggae theme,
And, the Pizza Resistance,
(Yes, it was 1983. How can you tell?)

It's a little bratty, a little precocious, and a little introspective. I wasn't "Born in the Fifties" but I could relate. Especially to the "We gave up on God and prayed to the TV" line.

FWIW, I have a tattoo of the cover of "London Calling" on my left arm.

The weird thing about the Police to me is that every song of theirs that's on the radio, I kind of hate, but when someone posts a deep cut from an album I actually like it a lot. It's really weird. When the opening riff of Roxanne or Every Breath You Take come on the radio I reach for the dial to change the station, but someone posts an album song of theirs and I'm like, this bops.
