4-5 PM SPECIAL “International Clash Day” Hosted by Jeffra Hull, Gordon Hull, and Amanda Eichstaedt. From KEXP: This year especially, we feel that celebrating The Clash is also a way to stand up for those dispossessed of power and stand up to the ugliness of authority we can sometimes see. As Joe Strummer said, the future is unwritten and so it is up to all of us to write it. So for at least February 7, we hope that the music of The Clash will be a part of the soundtrack to that hard work.
