Joe Strummer died on this day in 2002



The lead singer of the Clash would be 62.

And, as we have done before, a look at the mural outside Niagara on East Seventh Street and Avenue A … as it has been modified since the spring of 2003…

And as you may have read, scientists recently named a spiky, deep-sea snail after StrummerAlviconcha strummeri.

Finally, the same person tagged the mural again

In my heart there'll always be
Precious and warm, a memory
Through the years

And I still can see blue Joe Strummer
Through my tears

Ah, I liked the way it used to look much better but oh well, it's great that it's there regardless. The random graffiti on it is sickening, tho I gotta say the LA ROC is historic and done nicely, similar to his Haring collabs, so I don't mind that.

Maybe one day this will actually look like Joe Strummer.

Chico's portarits are definitly part of the neighborhood...but boy ! This doesn't look much like Joe ! If he didn't have the glasses, the jacket and its name underneath, it could really be anyone !

12th Anniversary of his death actually... Brother Joe's birthday is 21 August (a fellow Leo Lion).

You are sorely missed, Joe. Keep sending us your wisdom and backbone.

OK - I read that wrong... time for more sleep.

Carry on...

Grieve, put an R in the headline! Unless it's actually a painting of Joe Stummer, that would explain a lot...
