THE CLASH ON TOUR
During the ten days between February 7 and 17, 1979, the people of Iran toppled the Shah; the American ambassador was assassinated in Afghanistan; President Carter was publicly reprimanded by the president of Mexico; Rhodesia launched air strikes against Zambia; a nervous China invaded Vietnam; and Britain's premier punk band, the Clash, played their first tour of the United States.
