📸Pennie Smith
Le 20 septembre 1979, au Palladium en bordure de l’East Village à New York, la photographe Pennie Smith, qui suit les Clash en tournée, immortalise Paul Simonon éclatant sa basse contre la scène.
Cette photo devenue culte sera choisie pour la pochette de l'album “London Calling”, le troisième album de The Clash, sorti le 14 décembre 1979 au Royaume-Uni.

“They all got wet when he smashed that thing … “

September 20, 1979 ~ Paul Simonon, frustrated because the crowd at The Palladium in New York City isn't standing, smashes his instrument on stage. The shot is snapped by Pennie Smith, who thinks it is too blurry, but the album's art director loves it and gives it the cover. The visual becomes one of the iconic moments and photos of rock. #TheClash #londoncalling #paulsimonon #penniesmith #70smusic #music #70srock #rock
