Russ RankinGUEST
Or, or, or, you know, when, when, when they wrote "London Calling," when The Clash wrote "London Calling," uh, did they have any idea? And so it's, it's pretty cool.
Russ RankinGUEST
It's, it's like the, the most basic, um, tenet of, like, human creativity.
Russ RankinGUEST
And yeah, like, before there was nothing and now there's a song and, or now there's a column, or now there's a poem, or now there's a whatever.
Terry ChimesHOST
So it's when someone reads it, this, this, it, auditory as they're listening to it.

come down, London calling to the underworld Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls, London calling Now don't look to us, Tony DeLaney has bitten us We ain't got no swing, except for the wind, we're trying to be The ice age is coming, it's hard to swim in, meltdown is starting, the reach is great, baby I have no fear, running, we're drowning tonight Near by the river Run and call it Take the invitation he's owed Thank you, brother Call it a load Run and call it And the world shouts While we were talking I saw you We ain't got no high, except for the world, the yellow eyes The ice age is coming, the sun is over me Meltdown is setting, it's his birthday, before hell I have no fear, random is drowning and I live by the rules The ice age is coming, the sun is rippling Out the hall expected, who reaches birthday before I have no friends Like singing the blues People try to put us down, talking about my generation Just cause we could get around, talking about my generation Things that do seem awfully cold, talking about my generation If I die before I get old, talking about my generation My generation, my generation, baby Why don't you all forget? Don't try to dig what we all see Not try to cause a big sensation We're just talking about my generation Just cause we could get around.

The clashes London calling is about visiting London as a tourist.
Amy JoeHOST
