I was lucky enough to see the Clash play the 83 US Festival, Micks last show.I was 16 or 17. When the Clash ll played in the bay area in 84, I saw them play+got to ask Joe a question during a radio interview. I sounded like a dumb nervous kid, but I managed to sneak in a couple extra questions about Mick. I was so nervous I couldn't remember how to speak! Almost.The interview was pretty entertaining and full of 'Joe-isms'.It was on the '94.9 Quake' in S.F. I think I have it on a drive somewhere.

@leannewoodfull I like it! I wouldn't if he were still alive.But now Joe's gone forever, it's a great sign of respect+love, that most people just won't 'get'...Joe was the coolest. In 1989 I got a Clash tattoo with the Clash written inside a star, in front of a circle, with stripes out the sides...like the t-shirt joe wore in the 'Radio Clash' video. Of course the dude fucked it up and the lines aren't straight. I should've gotten the Clash written in the 'font' from the first album...Clash!

Fuck Cusack+Depp! Who the fuck cares what some hollywood douchebags have 2 say. Is their opinion any more valid or interesting than the average Clash Fan-atic? Of course not! It pains me greatly to see these movie-star A-holes even mentioning my favorite band. They can have U2 and the rest. I could care less.The Clash belonged to the fans, and they knew it. There was never a band that treated the fans so well.They knew we're all just average Joes!

Joe was the best friend I never got to meet....

@woodbell67 No

I dont think Joe Strummer would in the end like his face tatooed on someone's flesh. That's just me but I think he would prefer you to pick up a guitar. Write a cartoon or create something that has a sense of the iconoclast that he was.

[woodbell67]

One of the best lyricists I know of. Know any better ?

[leannewoodfull]

I'm getting Joe's portrait tattooed on me in a few weeks. He, and The Clash mean the entire world to me.
