I don't think the rasta-ish Clash is punk at all, just really good pop. 
Their old stuff was punk, like off their self-titled album, but it didn't 
have that same rasta sound as their newer stuff does...

Re: Intelligent lyrics in punk... Well, Jello Biafra is intelligent, and 
most of the stuff I listen to, even if its not INTELLIGENT, has more 
relevance to me than lame metal lyrics. You're right, tho-- most punk is 
not very intelligent... I like the politics involved, though, even if they 
are just an excuse to rebel. I'm not an avid metal fan, but I just haven't 
heard much metal with any political overtones at all...
