    "comment": "Reflex Revision\n___\nToday in 1978 The Clash famously sacked their manager, Bernie Rhodes, saying the band and the record company found him \"hard to deal with.\"\n\nThe first line of Strummer's re-written lyrics [to Rock the Casbah] had a specific genesis: manager Bernie Rhodes was frustrated in the early Combat Rock sessions with every track ending up being really long (stuff like \"Straight To Hell\" and \"Sean Flynn\") and in one session shouted, \"Does everything have to be as long as raga?!\" Strummer told Rolling Stone shortly before he died in 2002: \"I got back to the hotel that night and wrote on a typewriter, 'The King told the boogie men You gotta get that raga drop.' I looked at it and for some reason I started to think about what someone had told me earlier, that you get lashed for owning a disco album in Iran.\" This served as inspiration for the rest of the lyrics, about the people defying the Arab ruler (Shareef)'s ban on disco music and \"Rocking the Casbah.\"\nhttps://www.songfacts.com/facts/the-clash/rock-the-casbah",
