Weekend Tunes: The Clash – Know Your Rights

It’s been 36 years since The Clash dropped Know Your Rights as the first single from their fifth studio album, Combat Rock. That it’s just as relevant today as it was close to four decades ago leaves me unsure of whether I should laugh or cry.

If you’re an American unsure of what your rights truly are, the ACLU has you covered. Canadian? Check out the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and this handy guide on dealing with the police.
