Tales of Paul Simonon's effortless rizz: The Clash signing autographs at their WBLS radio interview in NYC, 1981, as captured by Paul Busch.

When the Clash came to the US, the band, impressed with the burgeoning hip hop scene, fully embraced that NYC vibe and 'The Magnificent Seven" was one of the earliest takes on rap by a rock band. When they hit New York in May 1981 for a three-week residency, the landmark black-owned soul and R&B outlet WBLS had "The Magnificent Seven" on heavy rotation.

Here's footage of The Clash performing the song on New York-based talk show "The Tomorrow Show" with Tom Snyder, as well as archival shots of the band in Manhattan during their residency at Bond’s International Casino: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD5N0rTsulQ

"Uh, you can start with these," Eddie said, handing Steve a few of his CDs. "There's Dio, Ozzy, and Iron Maiden."

Steve took them gratefully. "Thanks. The kids tell me Wham! won't cut it for the car."

Eddie smiled. "Yeah, no." He turned back to his CD rack. "I also have less metal and more punk, but I feel like the kids wouldn't like that. But like, uh, Dead Kennedys and The Queers. Also Sex Pistols, but they're kinda basic. And I know Baby Byers is familiar with The Clash, so..." he laughed awkwardly, realizing he was rambling.

Steve was listening with interest. He would never admit it, but he liked hearing Eddie talk. "I think these three are good," he said finally, holding up the CDs. "Thanks again."

"Yeah no problem," Eddie walked him to the door.

Steve walked down the grass before Eddie called out to him, "A Different Corner! It's a good song!"

Steve turned around, looking confused and Eddie chuckled awkwardly, scratching his head. "Uh, Wham!-?"

Steve nodded in understanding. "I dunno, I'd say pretty basic," he said, copying Eddie's earlier words and he continued to walk back with a smile on his face, leaving Eddie standing by the door of the trailer.

"Bastard," Eddie muttered, closing the door, smiling wide.
