catkoToday is Joe Strummer's Birthday.
Funny thing, he died on my birthday. That day is commemorated here. I'd love to see that mural sometime: Niagara Bar, 112 7th and Avenue A, NY. Like in the video, I remember seeing lots of people wearing Clash t-shirts. We went to a Clash-themed place for breakfast (yes) and they were playing, I think, London Calling, and a man in the next booth said to his son, who looked around 9--"That guy singing, he's Joe Strummer. He died today."
You felt like you were part of a (big) club. Still do. He's one of my (few) heroes.
From a tribute site:
"When he played at the Troubador, before he walked off the stage he said 'It's a sad and beautiful world! Goodnight!'
If you don't know, find out more about him.
