A-riggy diggy dig dang dang!
3rd song the Morning Show played today!
Joe Strummer kissed me! Albeit a goodbye smooch in the office at the end of a long project and I think it was more because I took care of an embarrassing situation for him than adoration;) Surprised the rest of the office. Me too. Have never really been able to talk about it because then people would want to hear the story which I couldn’t tell but now that I’m anonymous on the lovely EV Grieve there it is.
Good band, the Clash, but their "rock" vibe wore a bit thin after a while along with their half baked socialist nonsense. Post Clash, however, I thought Strummer was really on to something with his last project of World Music, The Mescalero's. Three great albums and then unfortunately he checked out.....
