too much faith in a man you made friends with in a jail cell the night before to be making flyers for his performance without even personally asking him idk

This is the shlockiest, poser-y, inconsistent garbage ive ever seen involving the “1970’s punk scene.”
I dont know what bothers me more; that Jonathan rhys meyers looks 10000% nothing like Joe Strummer OR that the kid gets a cassette tape from his mum thats mostly the clash, and then when he meets a girl who plays him the clash he’s like whut ive never heard this my mind is blown!
The aformentioned mum did a runner to bone some young social justice warrior, the only good actor is the dad who conveniently gets taken out by a piano so his pissant son can go to a clash/buzzcocks show and leave after the second fucking song.
Oh also for some reason they wrote joe strummer as some total sleezeball who hits on a 15 yr old then calls him a tranny 🙄 is it even legal to misrepresent someone like that?
