The Clash’s former road manager Johnny Green takes John Cooper Clarke the Poet Laureate Of Punk to The Arts Council Stage at The Electric Picnic 2012. Super event with classics like Beasley Street and Hire Car rocking the tent. JCC launched a well measured tongue-in-cheek attack on Johnny Cash regarding Cash’s real “Bird” credentials.

Eyes dead as vicious fish
Look around for laughs
If I could have just one wish
I would be a photograph
on a permanent Monday morning
Get lost or fall asleep
When the yellow cats are yawning
Around the back of Beasley Street
