That song was inspired by the shooting death of one of the NYC Guardian Angels in '82 and features selected quotes of the lines spoken by Travis Bickle, the character Robert De Niro played in "Taxi Driver". In the film's final climactic scenes, Travis cuts his hair into a Mohawk - that's where Strummer got the idea to get his own Mohawk and wore it during the tour.Ric Munozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17757361847046350615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318674573303332537.post-36682122621820075642013-09-03T18:29:22.061-07:002013-09-03T18:29:22.061-07:00Pace...I love the bass riff on Rock the Casbah!
...Pace...I love the bass riff on Rock the Casbah! <br /><br />Rick...that is so cool...I was in the audience at the 1984 show. Didn't the English Beat open for them? Strummer was sporting a mohawk. I'll never forget that show! I didn't know that about Strummer running London and Paris marathons. That makes my appreciation for this band all the greater. Thanks for sharing!!

I'm sure you're aware, but your readers might not know: Joe Strummer ran the London Marathon twice and the Paris Marathon three times.
