i just finish listening to "stay free" a podcast on spotify abt the clash and i feel so inspired and focused. on the last episode (spoiler alert) when joe strummer fired mick jones and justified the clash continuing as smth bigger than them and will continue to do clash things, it got me thinking.
another way of putting what joe strummer said is that the clash is a project and it always has been since d beginning. always focused on talking abt socialism and internationalism, the clash was more than the music and music was merely an aspect of trying to achieve smth (to change the world as they would say).
thinking more abt projects now, projects should involve methodologies and hypotheses than a blind pursuit. Regardless if its too hyperfocused or overdetermined [invalid critique], it should be seen as an attempt to re-examine and contextualize practices. Only when it has achieved its hypothesis or realized its methodologies failures can it change, but why not break-up?
