It may not be very much known but Bruce was a big fan of the Clash and Strummer. He has admitted in interviews that he learned a lot from Strummer about how to command a stage..when The Clash got big in America in 82 with Combat Rock and started playing big arenas Bruce was about to make the step up from halls to Arenas and he was in the audience on many occasions just to learn from Strummer how to reach the people at the back...this is a beautiful tribute
great song joe is very much missed , bruce always talks about his respect for joe great cover and song from 2 of the worlds greatest song writers of life
this is one of joe strummer's best songs from the mescalaros,it's about glastonbury,joe wrote to the organisers over 20 years ago begging them to get bruce to play...thats why he said for joe at the end of this song..listen to strummer's version
Bruce says at the beginning he was told to bring boots he'd 'never want to wear again' to Glastonbury - so he did - and then asked where was all the rain he expected!
Bruce knows his heroes...He is a huge Clash fan....To enter the Glastonbury main stage and start off with a Joe Strummer song is just utter class

When did Bruce start having a southern accent?

That's touching that he sang this song. I am a die-hard Strummer fan. Have everything from the Clash, 101'ers, and mescaleros.
How about sock puppets and rock n roll? Watch the video on my channel.
