Big Audio Dynamite "The Bottom Line" Live The Grove Anaheim CA 8/11/11

Mick Jones initially wanted "The Bottom Line" to become a Clash song. It was was originally intended for what would have been the Clash's follow-up to 1982's "Combat Rock." Though written in 1983, the song's marriage of technology and guitars have stood the test of time, and no doubt its recessionary themes don't hurt. When it was targeted as a Clash song, "The Bottom Line" had been christened by Strummer as "Trans Cash Free Pay One." With Jones' scruffy stop-and-go riffs and a synthesized groove, "The Bottom Line" would have fit nicely in set lists along side Clash songs such as "Rock the Casbah" and "The Magnificent Seven". "That was a song I really wanted Joe to have," Jones said. "When he wrote 'Trans Cash Free Pay One' he was prophesying credit cards and cash machines before they were as prevalent. Ultimately, he didn't like the music. He was like, 'You can have it,' so I took it with me and rewrote the lyrics. "Somewhere there's a tape of the music of 'The Bottom Line' with the lyrics of Joe Strummer, but I have no idea where it is," Jones said. "It would be quite interesting for me to hear it, though."
