Default OMG Joe Strummer is Dead!!!

Wow, I just read that Joe Strummer of the Clash is dead of a heart attack at 50.
They kind of shaped me into the Punk, reggea, rockabilly & SKA loving guy back in the 80's and still am a huge fan.

Any other shocked Clash fans??

Just made me realise my own mortality, there are a lot of people in the 50 range who are going to the other side

That pretty sad...
I've been listening to The Clash since London Calling. I first heard it when I was in high school in 1979.

That is my all time fave Album cover ever..pretty much summed up the times.. the era and lead the way to many great bands that were unfluenced by The Clash.

I was just talking about the Clash this past Sat night. when I went to a b-day party for a friend of mine. His brother got him a DVD box set of "The Young Ones", a British comedy series from the early 80s. The Clash made a guest apperance on the show once, as did Madness, Motorhead, and lots of other punk/ska/hardcore bands from that time.
We couldn't remember what song they did though. Anyone else remember The Young Ones?

I just heard too, i'm shocked. I loved the Clash, my dad had the record (not to make you feel old Chris b/c you're not, you have a baby on the way for god's sakes! lol) and still does! He had all their albums I think, I'm calling him now to chat anyway, sad sad day.
