The song was originally released in 1978 by The Buzzcocks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This got me thinking of the mix of musicians on the old <em>Concert for Kampuchea<\/em> as well as tales we&#8217;ve heard from some of our RTH Interview subjects from the UK. Is there any musical collaboration among American musicians that covers such a range? This is all too much for my little mind to handle alone. Perhaps you can help me crawl into the collective mind of this tribute&#8217;s participants and what it means, man. Thanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First, what must have been the commercially released video to accompany this star-studded cover of The Buzzcocks&#8217; most-successful song.
