The Pogues with Joe Strummer - I Fought The Law.

[RAMLIA1]

So great!!!

[atrumira]

A little known fact about the late,great Joe Strummer during his days with The Clash. 'London Calling' (voted by Rolling Stone, #1 record of the decade)was not supposed to be 2 LPs long. The Clash, wanting to give their fans more for their money, lied to the record company during the production stages & only when it was too late to back out did they reveal that they had indeed recorded 2 LPs worth of material which they offered for the price of 1.

Joe Strummer was w/o question a musical genius.

@atrumira so The Clash fought the record companies, and The Clash won?

[TheJohnBarry1]

Two of the greatest singer/song writers and personalities in Music, on one stage.

The Future is Unwritten

[referenti]

When I saw this video, I just remember a sequence from a movie (i think it was that one) Punk in London when in the begining, there is a guy "dancing" like a lunatic...and reminds me a lot of Shane...and I think it was to the tune White Riot by the Clash...

[traire91]

@referenti That's because it IS shane mcgowan! if your talking about the same video as me that is.

[Irishyoshi1]

hope strummers having fun fighting the law in heaven

[ShaneMacGowanFan]

The two best frontmen who have ever lived on stage, right there. It's great, love it. Shane and Joe all time legends!

[seangavin123]

Shaneo is locked in that video :)

[Orgonagon]

love how he sang this in the style of Sunny Curtis instead of the Clash.

[EdNortonisMineLol]

Who would've thought that Joe would die before Shane?! RIP, Joe

[KurtMcGowan]

@EdNortonisMineLol The world is weird! x

[iwantcompletecontrol]

@EdNortonisMineLol That reminds me of something Topper Headon said about the last time he saw Joe. He was backstage at one of Joe's gigs & Joe asked him what he was drinking. Topper said it was a beer - which he was ashamed of since Joe knew he was an alcoholic. He said his biggest regret was not having Joe see him for the last time with a Coke in his hand. Topper also said that his first thought upon hearing of Joe's death was "it should've been me" (since he was a heroin addict). Sad.

[EdNortonisMineLol]

@iwantcompletecontrol Sad story :( Very interesting, though, so thanks for sharing

[flojogrande]

@EdNortonisMineLol - No doubt!

[toterola451]

@EdNortonisMineLol, I watched that Julian Temple bio-pic about Joe called "The Future is Unwritten" and cried like a baby. I also laughed my ass off at the old friends, mates, "frenemies, and others who showed up to praise and damn him. Still the only f'ing band that mattered!

[EdNortonisMineLol]

@toterola451 Hell yea!

[MrPhilroo123]
