message: Seems to me that Spirit of St. Louis deserves more than the passing mention it gets here. Not a big commercial success, but a fine album, and notable for containing a bunch of Strummer-Jones songs that the Clash never recorded, and which were notably different from their usual style. - Jmabel | Talk 04:34, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

message: This article includes the line:
"The Clash's hit song "Should I Stay or Should I Go", written and sung by Jones, was about the turbulent relationship he shared with Foley at the time."
The article about the song says:
"Many rumours have arisen about the song's content, such as Jones' impending dismissal from the Clash or the rocky personal relationship between Jones and singer Ellen Foley, but Jones himself says:
' It wasn't about anybody specific and it wasn't pre-empting my leaving The Clash. It was just a good rockin' song, our attempt at writing a classic ... When we were just playing, that was the kind of thing we used to like to play. – Mick Jones, 1991' "
The first is a direct quote from a first-person perspective (the songwriter and one of the two in the relationship); the second includes documentation that is an unsourced collection of "facts" (web.archive.org/web/20120717204427/http://londonsburning.org/art_nme_03_16_91.html). The second source of the rumor (www.rollingstone.com/music/artists/the-clash/biography) no longer includes mention of any mention of Foley in regards to the song.
The articles should be reconciled. I recommend something like...
"was rumored to be about the turbulent relationship between Foley and Jones, although he claims 'it wasn't about anybody specific'. "
That offers a more neutral POV, while still mentioning what many people thought (and still think) about the origin of the song. . 2602:30A:2CD0:5820:596D:41E5:968D:5036 (talk) 18:27, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
