For this week’s “120 Minutes” Rewind, we offer up a 13-minute reel from the April 17, 1988, episode, which finds eternally glib host Kevin Seal broadcasting from the Scrap Bar in New York. There, he sings fake reggae songs with the patrons, then hangs out first with Joe Strummer — there to promote his video for “Trash City” from the soundtrack to the film “Permanent Record” — and then chats a bit with hard rocker Zodiac Mindwarp.

It’s cool (and perhaps telling) that they left the entire video clip for the Bel-Fires’ ‘What You Wanted’ in there…absolutely wonderful song; I wish the band had gone on to bigger things…
Agreed! And this was the first time I ever heard them!
I am sad that I didn’t move to NYC in time to hang out at the Scrap Bar.
COOLEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED!!!!!
