Joe Strummer

I agree with the posts about Sting and Morrisey being putzes-Morissey less so-but probably becasue Sting has a higher profile here in the states-

As much as I love the man-and his work with the Clash-I gotta say Joe's post-Clash stuff was largely dissapointing-actually ANY post-Clash stuff by any Clasher-is a hard pill to swallow-

This is from someone who upon hearing about Joe's death went to a bar with his best friend and put all of London Calling in the juke box and drank to Joe all night.

I gotta say I did'nt keep up with Joe Strummer solo but I liked "Love Kills" from the Sid And Nancy soundtrack and I thought the posthumous Mescaleros disc "Streetcore" was pretty good (especially "Coma Girl" and "All In A Day").
