So, Joe Strummer died on Dec. 23rd. For those of you who don't find this name ringing a bell, Joe Strummer was the creative mind behind The Clash and, along with co-writer Mick Jones, brought a ragga-flavored punk sound to the world of music in the 80s. Just think of the song "London Calling". That raspy, breathy voice is Joe. I just wanted to say that I'll never forget him, what he said and what he represented. He was so incredibly unique as a writer and musician and singer. There was and never will be anyone like Joe again. Moby said that if he could write Joe's epitaph it would say:

'here lies joe strummer, he was a compassionate and wonderful man, he wrote some of the most important music of the 20th century, and his presence here made the world a better place.'

I like that. :) Bye, Joe.
