Friday's opening shot

The Joe Strummer mural as seen on Seventh Street at Avenue A outside Niagara today. 

And today (Feb. 6) is International Clash Day. This year's theme is "Know Your Rights." KEXP in Seattle (specifically Morning Show Host John Richards) started this tradition in 2013, where the station honors the legacy of The Clash with deep cuts, covers and Clash tracks, "while also celebrating the rights we all hold as human beings." 

Tune in live online here.
