A bright light that will never fade away, the biggest humanitarian out of rock n roll. It makes me sad seeing that a lot of so called "musicians" today distorting his message. Joe loved being out there meeting people, not hiding in a mansion telling people to stay home while losing everything, what to do, or how to think. That was not Joe. He was not perfect and admitted that many times, that what made him unique!!Miss you brother, this world is a mess without u around!!

Agree totally, back in the day he DID affect a mockney accent and pretend to be inarticulate, and I found that infuriating.. oftentimes what should've a clear, unambiguous statement of intent on behalf of the Clash was lost because Joe was too busy posing and muttering inanities.

@@dee_seejay Oh man I don't even remember that! It's been so long since I spun that record. All my records were given away in 88 cause someone I was living with assumed I didn't want them anymore. I had everything The Clash ever did, We're the Meatmen and You Suck on white vinyl, The Faction debut album on red, Here Lies Venom box set several Bad Manners and Fishbone records...so many good ones. But losing that UK import has a special sting to it.

Give em enough rope - their fusion album London Calling Their pinnacle /3rd album Sandinista Their stoners/dub album Cut The Crap - The clues in the title . The Story of the clash - The singles on an album . Super black market clash more stoner dub my favourite is The Clash The Clash .
