Rudy/Rude boy, it had a much different meaning 20 years later. In short, it became what ilovethevalleyoh said - people who like ska. Like it or not.
In addition, my bullshit detector went off when i read your "rude boy" definition (bad child that would be abandoned on the side of the road). I've never heard that. Anyone else? Do you have a source, or did you just make it up?
Anyway, please realize, that the clash did not play "ska."
but this is a ska, or at least ska-influenced song...that's why everyone's talking about ska in this thread. See feckless.">
