Lol! You know, I originally wrote 'arenas', but then the Shea Stadium gig popped into my head so I changed it to 'stadiums' instead without realizing that they were supporting The Who during that tour. Whoops! My bad! . Still, when you see that gig, I think one can be forgiven for thinking The Clash were the headliners given the huge response they were greeted with.

On a more related note, I find it hilarious that Wire can manage to text, but can't quite figure out how to Tweet. It's pretty much the samething!
