The Call Up

hello! new here. have you guys seen the new documentary on joe strummer and the clash? what did you think of it? i'm glad they did a movie tribute to him. he's one of the greatest guitarists ever.

thought you guys might also be interested in this. if you love the clash like me, you should check out this drawing to win awesome joe strummer and the clash stuff, like the documentary. http://www.jamsbio.com/contest/strummer/

Just a quick question, at some point in the late 70s/early 80s my dad went to a clash gig and pinched a plastic light blue flag they had hanging around the venue, it's got a stencilled on picture in black and under it, it says the clash. just wondering if anyone has any idea when they used these at gigs and if anyone has ever seen one sell on ebay(as much as it it pains me, i think i may have to sell it due to well lack of money).

thank you

There must be some fans of the Mighty Joe in this City?  Anyone?

On the 5th Anniversary of Joe's passing, I couldn't find a thing going on where I live...would have liked to have sat with other folks who loved him, listening to his music, drinking a few and being optimistic.  Fortunately, I could watch "Let's Rock Again" and celebrate the Joe-ness of life.  His legacy lives on.

I worried after Joe passed what the world would be like without his conscience and his passion in the music industry but after almost five years, if you look around, there are all kinds of musicians doing some solid social commentary and paying respects to the great roots of music - Bedouin Soundclash, and Bright Eyes to name a couple of good bands.

Anyone here got suggestions for new or current music that holds a candle to the passion and talent that was Joe Strummer?


BTW: Had a great treat today at the cinema: The Diving Bell and The Butterfly ends with "Ramshackle Day Parade" 
There is little that makes me happier than when someone pays tribute to the Great Joe Strummer [R.I.P]

What will you/did you do to pay tribute to Joe today?

I'll be watching "The Future is Unwritten" and toasting him with Guinness. Also made a tribute post on my LJ.

Click here to bid. Thankyou!

Hey... someone know anything about the Joe Strummer movies? The Future is Unwritten and so on.

I posted this elsewhere, but I thought you might not want to miss this. It take some time to load (due to overwhelming demand), but keep trying. Joe plays Junco Partner with "mangled lyrics" and plays some favorites of his.

What do you think of "Joe Strummer", the song by Cowboy Mouth?

"Life's about friendships, the way you love your partner, the way you care for your children. That is what life is about. Not anything about earning a hundred zillion dollars because you toured America more than anyone else. I want life to be about creativity."
