Corrections to the entry written by Jimmy Jazz. In which "Jimmy" made some egregious mistakes. 1. Nicky "Topper" Headon joined the band far before the release of Give 'Em Enough Rope. He is credited on almost half the songs on The Clash as the drummer. This album was released in 1977 and Give 'Em Enough Rope was released in 1978, so obviously, he was there almost a year before. 2. Topper Headon did not quit because Joe and Paul kicked him out. He was kicked out because of a heroin addiction. It had nothing to do with the sacking of Mick Jones. 3. Mick Jones had already formed Big Audio Dynamite before he was kicked out of the Clash. 4. People do know what happened to Topper Headon after he left the Clash. He became a taxi driver briefly, went to jail for 15 months on a heroin supplying charge, played a few gigs, and cleaned up his act and stopped using heroin. He also appeared in several documentaries on the Clash and Joe Strummer like Westway to the World, London Calling Studio Footage, and The Future is Unwritten. Please get your facts straight Jimy Jazz especially when talking about one of the most influential and best punk band of all time.
