    If you remember Ray Lowry's cartoons in the old 'NME' - 3 themes: Elvis, Hitler and Godzilla - you might like this.

    Ray designed the Clash's 'London Calling' sleeve.

    Johnny Green was Clash Road Manager.

    He don't drink anymore, but ain't got anything against pubs... He's a big mate of mine and used to drink with me in the Polar Bear (years ago); also used to watch City at Fer Ark. He's been at 'Latitude' this weekend, interviewing Linton Kwesi Johnson and, if the rain had kept on, would've ended up here for shelter.

    If you haven't already done so, read Johnny Green's book - "A Riot Of Our Own" - about his time with the Clash. Second edition updated after the death of Strummer.
