Almost ten years ago, there was a concert in Lisbon, Portugal - a concert with the (English) name "Lisbon Calling."
Now Madness played at this June 9, 2009, concert, but I'm not going to talk about them.
And the Tubes played, but I'm not going to talk about them either.
I'm going to mention a little band named Carbon/Silicon. It's entirely fitting that Carbon/Silicon would choose to perform at Lisbon Calling, because one of the members of the band is ex-Clash guitarist Mick Jones, co-writer of the song "London Calling."
Oh, and one other band performed at Lisbon Calling - a band called Foreigner.
And the name is apt, because the band is not Portuguese. It's British/American, including English guitarist Mick Jones.
You can see where this is going.
And if you can't, let's say that you were in Lisbon on June 9, 2009 and wanted to find Mick Jones.
Mick Jones the guitarist.
Mick Jones the English guitarist.
Even with this level of specificity, you'd have to ask, Which one?
