MUSICIAN (June 1, 1981, interview with Strummer and Robert Fripp): Speaking of evolving musical forms and working in different styles: I got the new Ellen Foley record recently and I noticed that you and Mick wrote most of the tunes, and that you all (the Clash) back her up on the record. I played it for a few people and asked "now, who do you think this is?" Most people thought it was Abba...
STRUMMER: That's a compliment!
FRIPP: Abba are very, very good.
MUSICIAN: I agree, but I'm surprised to hear you both say that. What do you like about them?
STRUMMER: They hardly ever lay a turkey on you. They've kind of hit a rut these days, but they were in there just blammin' 'em onto the charts for ages, which is admirable...also the girls are nice looking!
