(DVD, Epic/Legacy)
A 20-year-old London adult book shop attendant gets a job as a roadie for his favorite band, The Clash. While on tour, he sets up drum kits for the show, then spends the rest of his time drunk or looking for women to bring back to the hotel. When the tour is over, he goes back to his dreary job. Interspersed with this story is concert and backstage footage of The Clash, which is really the only reason to watch, since the main story is rather aimless. Another subplot involving blacks harassed by the police is underdeveloped and could have been cut with no great loss.
