Joe Strummer 1952-2002



Yesterday was the 7 year anniversary of Joe Strummer's passing and I found this article that Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine) wrote in 2002. I thought it was both well written and very interesting, something he certainly wrote from the heart. If it's been awhile since you threw on some music from The Clash, today might be a good day to dust some off. I'd also recommend an album called "Streetcore" by Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros. It was released in 2003 a bit after Joe had passed but it's an album I listened to a lot after college, probably one of my favorites over the last 10 years. Love the song "Coma Girl" (below).

Here's the article: Tom Morello on Joe Strummer
