Because of its more remote location in the East Village, this work didn't receive the same love as Joe Strummer on Seventh Street and Avenue A. I liked it just the same, of course.
Anyway, I'm sad to say, it's gone. Painted over. Black.
Well, Ezo's Clash mural had been tagged. And it was starting to chip away in spots... Couldn't it have been touched up like the Strummer mural earlier this year? In any event, we're hopeful something equally inspired goes up in its place.

no way! that hurts.
I had no idea that mural was Ezo's. In any case, I'm sorry to see it go...
So what? Just another mural worshiping dead, pop cultural heros. Enough.
Her moving away probably was the reason for this.
GAH!!!! What the fuck!!! That sucks.
Have a little respect Larry Slade. Joe Strummer was more than just a pop culture hero. The artist showed his love and respect to Joe by painting this mural...and its a shame it was painted over. Anybody that knows anything about Joe would feel the same. You sir....are an idiot
