The Clash? It's hard to imagine Buckingham sporting a Mohican and cranking out a three-chord punk anthem such as London Calling.
I just couldn't let this go. Granted the reporter is an Aussie, but still can't forgive this...and the faux pas reminds me of some of the lines that they give Ziva David in NCIS (who I will miss when she leaves the series this coming season)...

Dude...it's called a MOHAWK! Not a MOHICAN. Mohawks are the hairstyle based on the Native American tribe of the same name, Mohicans were a tribe of Native Americans in the American North East made famous by James Fenimore Cooper. (the last of whom was played by Daniel Day-Lewis in the movie!) Not even close to the same thing!

And, furthermore...DOES "London Calling" really HAVE 3 chords??? I can only think of it having TWO!

Ok, I'm better now.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
