Excerpts
“There are 21 songs on his new LP and every one of them is a jewel. What we get with Get Happy is a record that is highly personal. The big C has grown up on us over the past few years and a new-found strength and maturity is evident.”

“Joe Strummer said that when The Clash heard that Wilson could not afford to keep his life support machines running, they wanted to do something. (Something more than Ted Nugent, who timely appeared at their dressing room before the show. "Get a haircut" is what the band told him, refusing to let him come on stage.”
—Clash concert review, page 10
“Colin Moulding: Do they actually shoot at you, if they don't like you in Texas?”
