Poor guy was only 50 and had been very active of late.
Rest in Peace maybe you too passed on your torch.

I've always hated 'political bands' - i want my bands to speak of politics, but of something higher and to help me cry through the struggles ahead.
The Clash songs always have done this for me.

WASHINGTON BULLETS

oh! mama, mama look there! your children are playing in that street again don't you know shat happened down there? a youth of fourteen got shot down there the kokane guns of jamdown town the killing clowns, the blood money men are shooting those washington bullets again as every cell in chile will tell the cries of the tortured men remember allende, and the days before, before the army came please remember victor jara, in the santiago stadium, es verdas - those washington bullets again and in the bay of pigs in 1961, havana for the playboys in the cuban sun, for castro is a colour, is a redder than red, those washington bullets want castro dead for castro is the colour... ...that will earn you a spray of lead for the very first time ever, when they had a revolution in nicaragua, there was no interference from america human rights in america well the people fought the leader, and up he flew... with no washington bullets what else could he do? 'n' if you can find a afghan rebel that the moscow bullets missed ask him what he thinks of voting communist... ...ask the dalai lama in the hills of tibet, how many monks did the chinese get? in a war-torn swamp stop any mercenary, 'n' check the british bullets in his armoury que? sandinista!
He will always be remembered for "London Calling" a great band, RIP.
A great man. A loss to the world. We had a bit of a clash bash in his honour last nite. And only 50 too. A great tragedy. I would reprint the lyrics to my own favourite Clash song, Spanish Bombs, but I can't be arsed. Do yourself a favor, buy or download a clash album. http://www.morpheus.com
Also, I was a bit upset by TV3's headline yesterday which was to my mind very insensitive: "He won't be rocking the Casbah anymore" or something along those lines. Disgusting, but then what do you expect?
Joe Strummer, Rest in Peace.
spanish songs in andalucia
the shooting sites in the days of '39
oh, please, leave the vendanna open
fredrico lorca is dead and gone
bullet holes in the cemetery walls
the black cars of the guardia civil
spanish bombs on the costa rica
i'm flying in a dc 10 tonight
spanish bombs,
yot' quierro y finito yote querda,
oh ma corazon
spanish bombs,
yot' quierro y finito yote querda,
oh ma corazon
spanish weeks in my disco casino
the freedom fighters died upon the hill
they sang the red flag
they wore the black one
but after they died it was mockingbird hill
back home the buses went up in flashes
the irish tomb was drenched in blood
spanish bombs shatter the hotels
my senorita's rose was nipped in the bud
chorus
the hillsides ring with "free the people"
or can i hear the echo from the days of '39?
with trenches full of poets the ragged army,
fixin' bayonets to fight the other line
spanish bombs rock the province
i'm hearing music from another time
spanish bombs on the costa brava
i'm flying in on a dc 10 tonight
spanish songs in andalucia,
mandolina,
oh ma corazon
spanish songs in granada,
oh ma corazon
