Re-occurring Reggae character Rudy the Rude Boy (clash fans)?

Rude boys were the first jamaican subculture in the sixties, it usually referred to young street hoodlums and unemployables who used to disrupt sound system parties. They were known for dressing sharp. Basically Jamaican gangsters of the time. Rude boys were used as the 'cool ' outlaw figures in a lot of Ska and Rocksteady music. The Clash just used the image of them in the same way.
