Mick Jones during his Big Audio Dynamite era, here posing in London with MCA (Adam Yauch) & Mike D (Mike Diamond) of the Beastie Boys plus photographer & common friend Josh Cheuse in an early '86 photo probably shot by Ad-Rock (Adam Horovitz).
Here's a excerpt from an AD-Rock interview on The Guardian in which he recalls how MCA re-taught Mick Jones how to play 'Clash City Rockers’ during their visit at Mick's house while surprise guests keep ringing his doorbell:
"We’re in London for a few days to “work”. Our friend from New York, photographer Josh Cheuse, was friends with Mick Jones from the Clash. He worked with them a little bit and hooked it up for us to go hang out with him one night. AT HIS FUCKIN’ HOUSE!
And by the way, he is one of the nicest people in the world. We meet, hang out, have a little tea, a couple beers, and then he shows us his studio in the basement. Not a practice space, but a nice little studio, with all kinds of equipment. While Mick Jones is showing us a guitar of his, Yauch asks him to play Clash City Rockers. I don’t know what possessed him to do that but, I mean, fuck yeah, I wanted that to happen. He kind of laughed and said that he forgot how to play it, and so Yauch took the guitar and taught Mick Jones how to play the song. Yes! Mick Jones from the fucking Clash.
Oh wait… Someone’s at the door. Yup. It’s Joe fucking Strummer! Our new close friend Mick Jones had said some people were coming over; Now Joe Strummer’s here and the doorbell rings again… It’s fucking Johnny fucking Rotten! He’s with this cool-ass German lady and we are now officially drunk, and freaking out. In Mick Jones’s living room. We’re getting ready to go see a movie, and one more person shows up on our way out. Take a guess… could be any-fuckin’-body, right? It is one of the coolest people in the world. Ever. Paul Simonon.
Picture yourself with your two best friends… real tipsy. Driving around the streets of London at night in two cabs with, basically, the fucking Clash and Johnny Rotten. Stopping at red lights, laughing, screaming, and throwing things at each other out the windows. I mean… just a few years ago, these people made music that changed our lives. We absolutely and totally fucking love them. And now we’re getting drunk with them and we’re on our way to go see a slasher movie together. IN LONDON!!!".

When Mike said “I’m the one fighting for my life.” I just thought wtf do you think Harvey is fighting for??????? Definitely not his pet cat.
Like sure, make them irrationally fight each other a little because they’re riddled with anxiety and unresolved emotions but? You two dumbfucks realise you’re still on the same side?
Why did they end up making Mike such an ungrateful little shit. But then he ends up sacrificing himself anyway???

❝ I REMEMBER BEIN' A FREE MAN, ❞ He shouts, to absolutely no one in particular. He took another drag of his cigarette and stared at his bike. ❝ FULL OF LIFE 'N AMBITION. NOW LOOK AT ME. ❞
Aside from a few stains on his uniform, he looks ... fine? Better than fine. So what was —
His phone buzzes.
> You know I can replace your keys at any time, Wario.
. . .
He shuts his phone off.

I always find it humorous when [redacted] delusionist try and call Mike racist because that moment with Lucas and the ghostbusters costumes.
But like you're fave(gag) is literally blatantly abusive and racist on many MANY occasions. Like please don't ever try and make the two comparable.
