The Clash : The Call Up
On November 28, 1980 The Clash released the UK#40 anti-draft single "The Call Up", which preceded their new album Sandinista! I was seventeen when the draft was reinstated in the United States and Ronald Reagan had El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua in his gunsights. Central America would be our next Vietnam. The Clash, from overseas, told us "It's up to you not to heed the call-up".
Thanks to the music video the Clash introduced a new fashion trend: guerrilla chic.
