THIS is punk rock🤘 Fans of #TheClash who still sing: “The Sharif don't like it, Rockin' the Casbah - did you know it was about Ayatollah Khomeini and the Islamic Republic of Iran regime? Joe Strummer had a unique perspective on the world. Born in Turkey he grew up moving around, his father in the British diplomatic service exposing him to different cultures from an early age. In Iran today, artists perform underground as people continue to fight for cultural freedom. The message behind #RockTheCasbah is clear: even when authority tries to silence a whole population, the music keeps playing. Thank you brit_hits_rewind via Instagram 👊🏼
