Joe can blather on about politics but he certainly did not come from a working class background (his father was an upperclass Brit diplomat). I also take issue with the Clash's glomming on to American music even though as good as they were at it , to me, it came across as a kind of affectation. I definitely would not have like to see a reunion as Strummer's band post Clash, The Mescalaros, was doing far more interesting music. Joe, poor chap, was not someone who was into "normal drinking" as rumor had it he would often wind blackout drunk at Save The Robots on Ave B. Wish you were here. RIP.

Right before a Clash reunion. There's no God, definitely.
