Joe Strummer

Watching a documentary about Joe Strummer on cable and still can't believe he's gone. He seemed like such a cool guy and a great musician, not to mention so handsome. It's strange to think that today the likes of Justin Bieber and One Direction are considered musical greats. But I have the feeling, more than several decades from now, people will still be listening to The Clash.

• Who is "The Clash"?

• He never brushed his teeth. Deal breaker.

  Eww

• His death was shocking and sad -- he was making good music right to the end, although his later work didn't get the attention it deserved.

• Joe Strummer wrote history in the punk movement with The Clash and in rock music in general. The Clash is mostly him and Mick Jones and The Clash is one of the best bands ever.

• I totally agree, OP. Such a loss - and how horrifying, what the music industry has become.

• Great doc, too.
