"I'm So Bored with the U.S.A." is a song by British punk rock band the Clash, featured on their critically acclaimed 1977 debut album, which was released in the United States in July 1979 as their second album after Give 'Em Enough Rope. It was the album's third track in the original version and second in the US version.

Song information
The song was originally titled "I'm So Bored with You", a song written by Mick Jones. According to Keith Topping's book The Complete Clash, the song was about Jones's girlfriend at the time, the same woman who was the topic of "Deny".

According to the story often told by the song's authors Joe Strummer and Jones, including on the documentary Westway to the World, the change came about by Strummer mishearing the song's title when Jones played it to him during their first meeting at their Davies Road squat. The band's early recordings, including the popular live bootleg 5 Go Mad at The Roundhouse, include the song in its original form. However, by the time of the concert on 20 September 1976 at the Roundhouse, Camden, the song was performed using its new title. The intro to the song is a variant on the intro to "Pretty Vacant" by the Sex Pistols.

Themes
Originally demoed with slightly different lyrics during the Clash's second demo session with their soundman Mickey Foote as producer, "I'm So Bored with the U.S.A."'s lyrics do exactly what its title suggests, condemning several aspects of the American society, such as drug problems in the U.S. Army (particularly heroin), support of American government backed dictatorships in the Third World (a theme later repeated on the Sandinista! track "Washington Bullets"), and popular series Starsky and Hutch and Kojak. It also criticizes Richard Nixon, mentioning the Watergate scandal's tapes.

 Mick Jones - lead guitars, backing vocal

Covers
 Canadian band Arcade Fire have played the song as part of their setlist on the "Reflektors" tour.
 Canadian punk band The Subhumans sang the song using the lyrics "I'm so bored with DOA" when opening for their fellow Vancouver punkers DOA at the Commodore ballroom in 1982.
 Ex-Stone Roses guitarist John Squire performed the song live. A recording was released on Time Changes Everything 8 Track Live.

Sir Thomas Tassell Grant KCB FRS (1795-15 October 1859) was a notable inventor in the 19th century.

He was born in Portsea, Portsmouth, the son of a namesake and his wife Ann (née Tassell) of Soberton, Hampshire.

In 1829 he invented steam-powered machinery for making ship's biscuits that were stamped into hexagonal shapes, thereby ensuring that there was no waste. This process speeded up the production process and substantially reduced its costs. Other government departments copied the invention, saving the British taxpayer a great deal of money.  As a reward Grant was given a £2,000 grant by parliament and received a medal from the French king, Louis Philippe, and a gold medal from the Society of Arts in London.

In 1834 he invented a desalination plant which distilled fresh water at sea and was described by the Times in 1859 as "the greatest benefit ever conferred on the sailor, materially advancing the sanitary and moral condition of the navy". Installed on HMS Wye it produced 10,000 gallons a day during the Crimean War.

According to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Grant's other inventions included "a naval fuel (briquettes known as Grant's Patent Fuel), and a steam kitchen, which was given its first trials in the warship HMS Illustrious. He also constructed a new type of lifebuoy, and a feathering paddle wheel.

He became a prominent member of the Royal Society, having been elected a Fellow in 1840. In 1850 he was promoted to the comptrollership of the Admiralty's victualling and transport service.

The outbreak of the Crimean War in 1854 tested Grant a great deal.  However, his inventions helped to offset the widely condemned shortcomings of the war-time supply arrangements for the forces.

Grant was knighted for his achievements, and Queen Victoria presented him with a gold and silver vase. He died of cancer in London on 15 October 1859.  The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography remarked, "Despite the marked improvements they bestowed on the quality of the beneficiaries' lives, Grant's inventions were perhaps too homely to receive the mention they deserved in the histories of technology."  He died at his house in Regents Park, London.

He had married Emma. They had two sons: Vice-admiral William Burley Grant and Richard Tassell Grant. His granddaughter Hilda Lucy Grant married Sir Charles Seely, 2nd Baronet in 1891.

Wolcott had a US hit single in 1944, with "Tico-Tico"

In 1950, he transferred to MGM Studios as Associate General Musical Director, and in 1958 became General Musical Director.

In 1950, he transferred to MGM Studios as Associate General Musical Director before succeeding Johnny Green as general music director in 1958. While there, he was credited with introducing rock-and-roll to the motion picture screen, prevailing on the producer of Blackboard Jungle to incorporate Bill Haley's recording of “Rock Around the Clock” into the 1955 film that Wolcott also scored. He also wrote the love theme from 1958 adaptation of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof In 1960, Wolcott hit the US, Hot 100 with the song, "Ruby Duby Du", which peaked at #41.

Spiritual life
Wolcott, who Green called “a man of great spiritual proportions,” left Hollywood altogether in 1960 to devote full time to the U.S. Baha’i Assembly, which had elected him national secretary.

Winterbourne Dauntsey is a village in Wiltshire, England, in the Bourne valley on the A338 road about  northeast of Salisbury.

The village adjoins Winterbourne Earls and Winterbourne Gunner. It is part of the civil parish of Winterbourne, formed in 1934 by amalgamating the three ancient parishes. The name Winterbourne comes from the River Bourne, which flows through all three villages in winter and tends to dry up in summer, while Dauntsey comes from Roger Danteseye, who was the lord of the manor in 1242.

Churches
A Methodist chapel was built in the late 18th century, and continues in use as Bourne Valley Methodist Church.

The local Church of England parish church is St Michael and All Angels at Winterbourne Earls, built following the 1867 demolition of St Edward's (consecrated in 1326) at Winterbourne Dauntsey.

Notable buildings
The Manor House, constructed around 1720 on the main road through the village, is built of Flemish bonded brick with a tiled roof. It has two storeys, attics and basement. The front has seven bays with a central doorway approached by eight steps, and there are back-swept wings at either end of the building, making a semi-enclosed courtyard to rear. The interior has a central hall with arched stair, and panelled dining and drawing rooms on either side. Some of the bedrooms are also panelled. The house is Grade II* listed, and the roadside brick walls and iron gates (of similar date) and a timber-framed former granary (18th century or early 19th) are also listed.

Peacock Cottages, two thatched cottages built in the 15th century as one house, are also Grade II* listed.

Facilities
The village has a pub, the Winterbourne Arms. The local school, for children up to the age of 11, is Winterbourne Earls CofE Primary School.

The Monarch's Way long-distance footpath passes through the village.
