Since The Clash first posed this age old question in the 80’s, indecisive people everywhere have been wondering what to do. No one knows for sure, and the fact that half the song is in Spanish doesn’t help anyone. There are generally two schools of thought. On one hand, I could leave. But in that case, there would be trouble. On the other hand, I could stay, but in that situation, there would be double. What seemed at first to be such a simple question is in fact a paradox with no visible answer. We must delve deeper into the abstract to find the answer. There is no evident answer within the song itself, but one doesn’t have to look far for some expert opinions. One expert, Professor Ulysses of Ithaca College, advises, “For the love of gods, stay! Last time I had to make that decision, I ended up on an island for twenty years with a beautiful young goddess who forced me to commit adultery…Wait, now that I say that out loud…$%#*. Telemakos, get the boat ready.” As you can see, even the experts are not sure what the right thing to do is. Logic would say that the best bet is to go because that way I would be avoid- ing double the trouble. For example, if I go, I will probably get a black eye, but if I stay, I’m looking at two painful shiners. Peace is hard to come by either way and once again, I am back to square one.
