Anglophile Music: Happy Birthday London Calling

If Anglophile’s had an anthem, it would be the song London Calling by the Clash.

Today it the 30th anniversary of the release of the London Calling Album in the USA.

Happy Birthday!

If you don’t own the song already or want an excuse to listen to the song again, check it out here on iTunes: The Clash - London Calling - London Calling

Here’s a great video:

About jonathan

Jonathan is a consummate Anglophile with an obsession for Britain that borders on psychosis. He keeps Anglotopia running in his spare time, always dreaming of his next trip to England, wishing he lived there - specifically Dorset - and is always trying to figure out a way to move to England. It will happen one day. Keep up with him on Twitter here.

    The story of a guy being detained for questioning under suspicion of terrorism for playing “London Calling” in a cab is true, but the idea that the song is about terrorism is completely false. There is no shame in loving this song. Rock on Anglophiles!
