[post_page_title]London Calling – Drowning[/post_page_title]
Punk classic London Calling by The Clash is an anthem for many fans of the genre. During the punk era, the ‘70s, many British bands were vocal in their disgust with how their country was being run and London Calling was presumed to be another song about the state of British politics.
Mick Jones of The Clash told Wall Street Journal that the band was paranoid by a 1979 headline which suggested London’s river, the Thames, would overflow. The band “flipped,” and wrote the song about their anxiety.
