Pretend for a minute, you're 15 again and you don't look a tit if you say the word cool. Who was the coolest member of the Clash?

[ranting]

My vote is Paul Simoneon.

See, Topper got a mention! Even if we just 'think' he might be a nice chap.

paul simeneon def
have his autograph ..somewhere

[ranting]

You have his autograph? Did you actually meet him.

[AllFallDown]

Topper Headon. Because he was the only one who wasn't clearly obsessed with being cool. Obsession with coolness is uncoolest thing imaginable.

[mrsruffallo]

Didn't you want to be cool when you were young and frisky AllFallDown?

[AllFallDown]

The "cool" people were all tossers, so I ended up happy to go my own way. "Cool" people are almost always self-obsessed bores, don't you find? Why would anyone want to be like that? As Joe Strummer once said, with unintentional irony: "Like trousers, like brain."

[Cammelia]

The Clash weren't a cool band

I say cool all the time - I'm 30...

I should stop shouldn't I? [blush}
