Candles for Joe Strummer



As of around 5 p.m., someone had left two candles at the Joe Strummer mural outside Niagara, East Seventh Street and Avenue A.

Strummer, the lead vocalist of the Clash, died 13 years ago today.

Previously.

I've noticed over the past few years the amount of candles and flowers has decreased, largely because there's fewer of us left who remember.

Same thing with the flowers and candles left in front of Engine 5 on 9/11 anniversaries. The first few years the sidewalk was a flickering jungle, now they get maybe a dozen bunches of flowers and perhaps one candle.
