Quite by chance this week I discovered that Joe Strummer was born on this day in 1952.
As I love this song (even though, like many, I’d heard the Clash first), any excuse to put it on here is fine by me. So today's date gives me a perfect one.
The 101'ers: Keys To Your Heart
Joe Strummer (John Mellor): 21st August 1952 – 22nd December 2002
I miss Joe each and every day.
ReplyDeleteThe Clash, collectively and individually, had (& continue to have) a profound influence on my life and it seems inconceivable that I'm now older than Joe was when he died.
ReplyDeleteThanks for marking his birthday with such a great tune.
My favorite 101'ers track......
ReplyDeleteThanks guys for commenting. I was wondering what to say in response but, you know, I don't think I need to add anything more - your remarks are tribute enough to Joe. Appreciated.
