What are the Clash talking about?
Rock The Casbah is one of my favorite songs of all time but I still have no idea what in the hell they are talking about...
I know the Clash were a protest/political group so i figure they were protesting something but what was it??

They were ridiculing, among other things, the Ayatollah Khomeini's ban of Western music in post-revolutionary Iran.
