A mobile phone salesman was hauled off a plane and questioned for three hours as a terror suspect - because he listened to songs by The Clash and Led Zeppelin. Harraj Mann, 24, played the punk anthem London Calling and classic rock track Immigrant Song in a taxi before a flight to London.
The lyrics to both tracks made the driver fear his passenger was a terrorist.

I wonder if Daniel Ortega listens to "Sandinista."

Hmm... if I were him I'd delete "Spanish Bombs" from the ol' iPod.

Isn't the Immigrant Song the Viking Kitty theme?

All of Sandinista and London Calling are on my iPod.
Oh my God, I'm turning myself in. Right after I finish listening to Revolution Rock!

What would be the reaction if he played "Rage Against the Machine?"

"Immigrant Song"
Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!
On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.
Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords.
On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.
So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing.

This is so wrong. Now, if he had played the clash song with the bad Allen Ginsburg sicko poetry he should be shipped to Gitmo!

Not from London Calling! Rock the Casbah was one of the most piss-poor songs the Clash ever did. No wonder it was a pop hit.
