[edit] Recent Projects

The phrase 'Jones has become an occasional producer' implies this is a recent thing whereas Jones has been producing albums since at least 1982, namely 'Westworld' by Theatre of Hate. 86.29.85.68 16:51, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] MPfree

Why is there a citation needed for this sentence? If you have heard the song, clearly the point of the song is to promote P2P filesharing. Jlee562 18:55, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You're Fired!

Why was Jones "fired" from The Clash? Seems odd that they'd suddenly slip a founding member a pink slip.--Agent Aquamarine 03:12, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

He started not getting along with Joe Strummer, as far as I understand. They were both a little drama queen-y by the end. 4.178.132.173 18:46, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

There were several issues, including Bernie Rhodes, who became quite obsessive over the group, as well as Mick's own self admitted rock star tendencies. Jlee562 04:37, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thatcherite Policies?

Thatcher didn't become PM until 1979, so I'm struggling to see how his childhood struggles (late 60s/early 70s) can be put down to "Thatcherite Policies".
