R.I.P. Joe Strummer

One of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll artists of our time is dead. I saw the Clash in 1979 when they were at their peak. I remember being almost literally blown away by the volume, the passion, the sheer energy coming off the stage. A lot of the music of that era was disposable. Most of it hasn’t aged well. But the Clash? Their songs sound as fresh and energetic today as they did a quarter-century ago.

We’ll miss you, Joe.
