Retrosonic Podcast is back with very special guest Barry Myers otherwise known as DJ Scratchy Sounds discussing his excellent limited edition photobook "Road-Eyes 20-20 Double Vision: Photo Tales with The Clash and The Mescaleros". In this thoroughly entertaining episode, Scratchy discusses his early days as a tour DJ and his residency at Dingwalls Dancehall as Punk exploded in London. He explains how he got to tour with The Clash and some of the great support acts he saw along the way such as Bo Diddley and The Cramps. There's his part in some legendary gigs such as the 1978 Rock Against Racism Carnival in Victoria Park and the Ramones 1977 New Year's Eve show at the Rainbow which was to result in the blistering "It's Alive" live album. We discover his affinity with Japan and the fact that he has two volumes of his memoirs written and ready for a publisher to snap up. Then later on reconnecting again with Joe Strummer and his band The Mescaleros joining them at gigs including the Fireman's benefit show at Acton Town Hall during what would sadly turn out to be Joe's last tour.

DJ Scratchy Sounds: Photo Tales with The Clash & Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros

The Swingin' SkaTones deliver a powerful tribute to the late, great Joe Strummer in their SKA anthem "Without People You're Nothing." With its infectious upstroke guitars, punchy brass, and driving bassline, this track captures the raw energy and revolutionary spirit of the punk prophet himself.

The video weaves together the vibrant high-energy performance from the band with poignant lyrics of unity, struggle, and community—true to Strummer’s ethos. Haunting and epic, the highlight comes when a voice from the past breaks through: an audio clip of Joe Strummer himself declaring, “Without people, you’re nothing.” This moment chills to the core, reminding us of the enduring power of his message.

The music video is more than a song; it’s a rallying cry—a celebration of Joe’s legacy and a reminder that everyone counts. A must-watch for fans of SKA, punk rock, and anyone who believes in the power of people.

LYRICS
---------
La La La Long
La La La Lay Oh
Without People You’re Nothin'  he say oh
La La La Long
La La La Low Hey
Ya Man Tis Da Strummer way

He walked the streets a prophet at night
Fighting the good fight a punk rock light
From the London Calling to the rebel beat
He sang for lost souls on every street

He wasn’t a star he was one of us
A man with a message a voice you could trust
In the city shadow under neon skies
Joe Strummer’s words still open our eyes

Without People You’re Nothin' 
That’s what he’d say
A truth for the broken 
For the castaways
On the airwaves 
His words still play
Without People You’re Nothin' 
Don’t lose your way

La La La Long
La La La Lay Oh
Let the message roll
Let the rhythm play oh

In the Clampdown he warned of the system’s game
Fought for the voiceless called out the shame
Went Straight to Hell in The Magnificent Seven
Dreamed of a world just like heaven

A pirate on the airwaves a rebel sound
Broadcasting truth to the underground
For the Jimmy Jazz and the working man
Joe held the mic like a weapon in hand

Without People You’re Nothin' 
That’s what he’d say
A truth for the broken 
For the castaways
On the airwaves 
His words still play
Without People You’re Nothin' 
Don’t lose your way

La La La Long
La La La Lay Oh
Let the message roll
Let the rhythm play oh

In the Clampdown he warned of the system’s game
Fought for the voiceless called out the shame
Went Straight to Hell in The Magnificent Seven
Dreamed of a world just like heaven

Now the Guns of Brixton echo in the past
But his spirit in the music will forever last
Joe Strummer the poet the man of the fight
Reminds us we’re stronger when we unite

Without People You’re Nothin' 
That’s what he’d say
A truth for the broken 
For the castaways
On the airwaves 
His words still play
Without People You’re Nothin' 
Don’t lose your way

La La La Long
La La La Lay Oh
Let the message roll
Let the rhythm play oh

So turn up the volume let the music be free
Joe’s message still rings for you and me
On pirate radio his voice takes flight
Without People You’re Nothin'
Stand up for what’s right!

La La La Long
La La La Lay Oh
Without People You’re Nothin' he say oh
He say oh 
He say oh
Without People You’re Nothin'

This song captures the spirit, passion, and rebellious soul of a man who shaped the sound of punk rock and inspired generations with his fierce honesty and relentless drive for change.

Through vivid lyrics, we journey through Strummer's life and legacy—from the fiery streets of London to the revolutionary anthems of The Clash, the pirate sounds of Radio Clash, and his enduring influence as a rebel poet. Like Woody Guthrie wielding a guitar as a weapon, Strummer was a musical warrior with The Only Band That Matters.

Let this anthem remind us of the power of music to ignite hearts and fuel revolutions.

LYRICS
------
They had Lennon and Bob Dylan
But we had Strummer the future unwritten
When fury had the hour we felt the power
We were Clash City Rockers on our way

London was burnin' an the Clampdown churnin'
When Joe said I wanna riot of my own
In Hammersmith Palais he asked What's My Name
We were Clash City Rockers on our way

When he sang Complete Control
We knew we'd never be sold
Like Woody Guthrie killed fascists with guitars
And the 101er's key key to our... 

Hearts in the right place
Bernie led him far away
To Mick Paul and Topper too
The band that broke through

He made a splash with Radio Clash
The pirate smash on satellite
The only band that matters...
Tonight

In 1977 Garageland was in trouble
Then an art school rebel burned through the rubble
Screamin' Rudie Can't Fail today
We were Clash City Rockers all the way

Like Woody Guthrie killed fascists with guitars
And the 101er's key key to our... 

Hearts in the right place
Bernie led him far away
To Mick Paul and Topper too
The band that broke through

Ring Ring 7 a.m.
Janie Jones' on the lam again
Knocking down Jail Guitar Doors

But then 10 years lost mysterious
Was Johnny Appleseed delirious
Let's Rock the Casbah just One More Time
One More Time

Like Woody Guthrie killed fascists with guitars
And The Clash the key key to our...
Hearts
Our Hearts
Yeah

It was always Death or Glory
Strummer a true rebel story
With the only band that matters...
Tonight

Ladies and Gentleman
Live at the Hollywood Palladium
The Spectacular
The Breathtaking
The Most Notable Rebel Poet in History
I give you...

The Magnificent Joe Strummer

La la la long
La la la lay oh
Without people you’re nothing he say oh
La la la long
La la la low hey
Ya man it's the Strummer way

He walked the streets a prophet at night
Fighting the good fight a punk rock light
From the London Calling to the rebel beat
He sang for lost souls on every street

He wasn’t a star he was one of us
A man with a message a voice you could trust
In the city shadow under neon skies
Joe Strummer’s words still open our eyes

Without people you’re nothing that’s what he’d say
A truth for the broken for the castaways
On the airwaves his words still play
Without people you’re nothing don’t lose your way

La la la long
La la la lay oh
Let the message roll
Let the rhythm play day oh

In the Clampdown he warned of the system’s game
Fought for the voiceless called out shame
Went Straight to Hell in The Magnificent Seven
Dreamed of a world just like heaven

A pirate on the airwaves a rebel sound
Broadcasting truth to the underground

Without people you’re nothing that’s what he’d say
A truth for the broken for the castaways
On the airwaves his words still play
Without people you’re nothing don’t lose your way

La la la long
La la la lay oh
Let the message roll
Let the rhythm play day oh

He screamed White Riot not to break but to heal
Pressure Drop made it real
Revolution Rock wasn’t just for show
He carried the torch where few would go

Now the Guns of Brixton echo in the past
But his spirit in the music will forever last
Joe Strummer the poet the man of the fight
Reminds us we’re stronger when we unite

Without people you’re nothing that’s what he’d say
A truth for the broken for the castaways
On the airwaves his words still play
Without people you’re nothing don’t lose your way

La la la long

Let the message roll
Let the rhythm play day oh

So turn up the volume let the music be free
Joe’s message still rings for you and me
On pirate radio his voice takes flight
Without people you’re nothing—stand up for what’s right!

La la la long
La la la lay oh
Without people you’re nothin' he say oh
He say day oh 
He say day oh
Without people you’re nothin'
