  "textContent": "On Thursday, May 14th, 1982 I was finishing up my second year of college at Rutgers University in New Brunswick NJ. It had been over two years since a high school classmate had turned me into a diehard fan of The Clash by giving me a cassette of his older brother’s copy of London Calling. Since that time, I had pretty much worn out the grooves of my own copy of that record. Sandinista! came out during my freshman year of college and, while I certainly like a lot of it, its breadth of songs and styles, plus its sheer size, meant that I didn’t play it quite as often.",
