Happy Joe Strummer Day...Long Live The Clash!




On this date in 2002, Joe Strummer, the lead singer of The Clash who was also an accomplished actor passed away at age 50. He will never be forgotten and neither will his music. Check out a live performance of "Clash Radio" which was taped for "The Tom Sydner Show" in 1981 if you get the chance.


SIDEBAR: I found a new copy of The Clash's release "Combat Rock" at CD Alley in Chapel Hill, NC, for a reasonable price a few weeks back. It's the one with "Rock the Casbah" and "Should I Stay or Should I Go," which reminds me I need to go to my mom's 70th birthday party!
