OT - The Daily Campus' Editor in Chief

[BUConn10]

So a friend of mine is finishing up his last year at UConn and was just appointed as The Daily Campus' (UConn's on campus, student run newspaper) EIC. He is a funny kid and a huge long-time UConn basketball fan. Recently he posted this picture to facebook of his new office and his 2 only rules as the new boss:

" (1) My door is always open.
(2) You must wipe your feet before entering "

Simply grand.

At first glance, it was not evident that the foreground was a desk. I thought he just had his stuff spread all over the floor.

And a Clash poster on the wall. Perfect.

Love the Fruit U. doormat, how appropriate

And maybe a Ron Burgundy sighting in the next office.

Loved the Daily Campus. Congrats to him!!

Excellent!

I think a Kentucky wastebasket in the corner would complete the ensemble...
(A wastebasket in the digital age? Why yes, to collect all their tears...)

Not just any Clash poster - London Calling - iconic cover image and arguably the height of Clash creativity and productivity. My sister saw them at the Augora in Hartford. I can't even imagine how insane that must have been - big band in small venue. I miss Joe - great singer/lyricist and awesome human being.

I was there, they opened with London Calling, it was insane.

Hence the point of the the wiping the feet before entering

I'd instruct them to squat and , but wiping feet is good too.

I'd instruct them to squat and , but wiping feet is good too.

Alternative method: step in dog fecal matter and wipe on door mat. Everyone wins.

Always looked forward to Amy Miller's column, anyone at Uconn around the late 90s will know why...

She was a very, very friendly coworker. Lots of late nights...

Just two days ago I heard The Clash playing very loudly from our bathroom while my middle daughter was showering. Naturally, I asked her what she was listening to, and she explained that they had come up on a Spotify playlist and she liked them.

For her last birthday (14) I got her a turntable because she had started taking a liking to a lot of my music and loved checking out the old vinyl I have. So last night we spent some time going through my albums yet again, and I gave her Combat Rock and London Calling, as well as a digital copy of Live at Shea Stadium, which I attended, when they opened for the Who in 1982. And I made sure to explain to her that London Calling is one of the greatest albums of all time.

She went to her room for a few hours and came back to ask me what my favorite songs were and we compared notes. I told her Clampdown, Spanish Bombs, Lost in the Supermarket, Train in Vain, Jimmy Jazz; she really loves Rock the Casbah and Should I Stay or Should I Go, the first ones that grabbed me all those years ago.

Highlight of my week so far.

London Calling, after all these years is still one of my favorite albums.
