The books "Our generation" and "Our Generation Calling" by Tony Beesley features pictures of Joe Strummer with the author and many other punk bands and fans memories of the era ;) .
Joe had a while when he didnt do anything musically. He wasnt as sure of himself as you would think. He was doing some amazing work with before he died and his last shows were brilliant. I am proud to say that I used to know him as a friend. He looked after my dog for me even. He affected my life in a big way and I absolutely know he had no idea how much he was loved....He was a friend and brother to us all. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS XXX
You fuckers are lucky That you ever got joe strummer on your label, when you have bands like the distillers and this other beauty pop music auto pitch corrective, make up and all those scenster sort of things, fuck what you look like play music.
@wyattrashbug Nah mate, he screwed up the Jam through ignorance and managed to put it right with his band mates before he died, sorry if i'm old enogh to have seen em live as the jam and followed the history all the way through,always been a fan an old enough to know what happened, old enough to see the 101'ers live, bet ya dont even know that mate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Joe!! you are and were that kind of tender and strong man i would liked to have by my side. You were the artist, the rebellius, the genius. You are worthy of being loved, all the heaven just for you!
DONT READ THIS CUZ IT REALLY WORKS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT TO OVER 3 VIDEOS OR YOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS. NOW THAT YOU HAVE STARTED READING THIS DONT STOP. THIS IS SCARY, POST THIS TO OVER 5 VIDEOS in 143 MINUTES WHEN YOUR DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR CRUSHES NAME WILL APEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY BUT IT REALLY WORKS
I used to subscribe to a few music magazines a few years back. I can't remember which one it was but on the free CD there was the studio version of this song and the magazine said it was the last track he laid down, eight weeks before his untimely passing...
I helped build a stone circle in Joe's garden down at his Somerset farmhouse a few months after he died... All his mates were in shock and despair, but it was one of the greatest experiences of my life.
Joe sang and played every song like it was his last. Sad that these actually were some of his final chords. But Joe dont want us to shed tears for him, he wants us to keep rockin', and this music keeps us doing that.
the day he died, i remember my dad getting a call from a girl who said i will never forget the day you introduces me to him. i dont believe my dad knew joe strummer
I love how Joe was constantly reinventing his musical style- successfully.
Just as he emerged from a relatively long hiatus, and was beginning to churn out fantastic songs like this, he was cut down at a far too young of age.
Performers and men like this are a rare occurrence.
I made a tattoo with his name...I can't explain how I feel when I listen to his voice. Thanks Joe because you changed my life, you help me to grow and now I'm proud of me. thank you so much
joe is my all time hero, i´ve been listening to the clash since i was 8 years old (1990) and never stopped listening to them... they split up long before i could see them live, but a dream came true when i saw joe and the mescaleros in ´99 together with offspring. i almost cried xD
most of the offspring fans didn´t even know him, only like their parents started dancin when they threw in some clash hits... sounds like a fairy tale, but that´s what happend and now i can die satisfied!
Strummer foi sem dúvidas um dos mais influentes na música mundial...quem não conhece vale a pena estudar a historias deste grande homem. Ainda mais estas gerações de hoje com baixo nível de cultura musical...
Last month, the Observer music monthly printed a letter Strumme wrote to the organisers of glasto in 2000 telling em to book the Boss, It says something like anyone who doesn't like Bruce "must be a deluded marshan" or something like that, they were both big fans of each other and it was great to see that letter be fuffilled this year.
i thought i was the only one tried everywhere to find bruces version at glasto. joe strummer is the one person in this world that shouldn't be dead. that man was the essence of music and rock
been looking everywhere mate, nothing on youtube, bbc iplayer or the wider net it seems. can't believe bbc didn't show it, should have surely shown the start of his set
was defenitely my favourite moment of glastonbury, strummer wrote to eavis 20 years ago telling him to put springsteen on. I was eating a crisp and managed to spit most of it out on me mates back singing, I can't find it either. It's a shame the bbc won't recognise it's signifiance and put it up.
I love this - bless you Joe.
