Meltdown expected



Derek Berg spotted this discarded iMac G3 on Fourth Street ... with London Calling written across it...



Speaking of the Clash ... International Clash Day is tomorrow. John Richards, morning-show host of KEXP in Seattle, started the event on a whim in 2013 to pay tribute to the band's "message of inclusion, multiculturalism, pro-immigration, anti-hate, anti-racism, and anti-fascism." Now in its seventh year, communities in 16 countries over six continents participate.

Richards and other KEXP DJs have been in London this week for a live broadcast and online event leading up to tomorrow ... you can listen online here. You can find other International Clash Day activities here.

This year also marks the 40th anniversary of the release of the Clash's London Calling.

    That other stuff is nice and all, but I like to pay tribute to the Clash's ability to rock, and pen great tunes. Let's never forget the Clash were a great MUSIC band, something in very short supply right now.

    This is a public service announcement
    With guitar
    Know your rights
    All three of them

    Number one
    You have the right not to be killed
    Murder is a crime
    Unless it was done
    By a policeman
    Or an aristocrat
    Oh, know your rights

    And number two
    You have the right to food money
    Providing of course
    You don't mind a little
    Investigation, humiliation
    And if you cross your fingers
    Rehabilitation

    Know your rights
    These are your rights
    Hey, say, Wang

    Oh, know these rights

    Number three
    You have the right to free speech
    As long as
    You're not dumb enough to actually try it

    Know your rights
    These are your rights
    Oh, know your rights
    These are your rights
    All three of 'em
    Ha!
    It has been suggested in some quarters
    That this is not enough
    Well

    Get off the streets
    Run
    Get off the streets
