You just want to say "Please, Joe, go see a doctor right now" .

I remember a rainy day in Hammersmith in my car, window down, blaring out a recording of 'Rock the Kasbah', and a guy walking alongside the car gave me the thumbs-up. When he dropped his hood I could see it was Joe Strummer. Coincidence?......yes! John d Reilly on Spotify

It's sadly ironic that Joe was talking about the possibility of having the #1 song at Christmas in England in 2002, yet he died three days before Christmas...

I'm late to the Joe Strummer / The Clash appreciation party, but each KZfaq interview I watch Joe is very calm in his speech and seems very comfortable with what he talks about. One thing I do notice, is that he doesn't space fill with ers or swearing or whatever. Very smooth talker.

It moved me when he said, "We leave everything to the last moment, y'know?. There's no need to rush."

He was always generous and honest. Never played the rock star and big-timed anyone.

Consummate Human! I met him in 1982, and he was just lovely, genuine, gentle and kind. He made such an impression on me, as opening a gate. I was 17 at the time, so it was "right place right time," and I am grateful and thankful.

I've met him so many times in early 90s around North Kensington, he was down to earth Gentelman, not like some stars, for instance David Gilmour, who have no time for their fans, all the clash members are very humble, they meant what they were singing about

This man made me re think all my opinions. Said something to the effect that unless you are an absolute specialist in your field, throw your opinions out with the garbage! Listen to the people who know something and whether you agree or not, keep your mind open. Valuable advice! We miss you Joe and in these difficult times we need people who think like you. Thank you and god bless.

No pretention, whatsoever. Joe talked to you like you were a friend. He didn't care to have his fame or achievements define him. In fact, it sounds like fame didn't "stick" to him as far as him letting his ego get wrapped up in it. What a truly down to earth, sweet soul. Thank you for all the music, Joe, and for reminding us that even famous, influential rock stars can be "real". xx

Thank you so much for posting this. I saw him in Hartford CT, 10-8-01, just year and 2 months before he died. And thanks to a guy and girl who, i think worked for MTV Radio, tipped me off that i couldl meet Joe after the show, and i did! I met "my man" who influenced so much about me from my-The Clash-days. There's so much i must leave out, even so manu cool nuances between us, but i digress. He was so personable, so kind and genuine, and i swear i talked to him over 7 minutes covering a range of topics. They say when you meet your hero there is usually remorse, but not this man, no way. I hope to write this story and share this because for his sake alone it is worthy and i think any Clash fan would appreciate it. Peace

I feel like he's still alive actually. He taught me so many things, like not being afraid to be myself, and to always follow my ideals. God only knows how much I wish I could get to know him in person and tell him how important he still is for me...

One of my most loved musicians..I love how he talked about mainly listening to the lyrics when he first got into music. Joe Strummer had this amazing presence, what a vibe. You can’t help but feel his effect on you. The most beautiful song for me is Redemption Song, so much passion. and also when he sang it with Johnny Cash. ❤️RIP❤
