20 years today since we lost this wonderful human being. He would have so much to say about the world today and of course made so much more great music.
@VikingHenk Me too. He will be in my life forever! He truly changed my life my life for the better starting in 1984 when I first heard him sing. Got to meet him in 1999 at the MESCALEROS show here in Detroit. He signed my setlist & I told him that he changed my life! He thanked ME...imagine that. I took it for granted that he would be playing music for 20+ more years. I was honestly c-r-u-s-h-e-d when I heard he passed. I was at work when I found out & I was physically sick. R.I.P.
There was always depth in his music, a rhythmic flow to his vocal, and words that spoke from the heart. He could invoke emotion, make us think and ultimately entertain us.
So long liberty... Joe Strummer is a role model for me. I may never have been alive when he was but he was an amazing artist. If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t have been continuing to play guitar. Rest in Peace you wonderful bastard. Viva Joe Strummer! Long Live The Clash!
a lovely song by a lovely genuine guy the god remains in heaven r i p joe strummer a true musical hero who i will never forget respect joe sorely missed
I miss him so much - as if I knew him - but didn't we all feel like we knew him? He is memorialized on my arm and I would give anything to hear what he would say about the current state of the world. RIP Punk Warlord 💔
Probably my favorite song of all times when I am in the mood to get positive f'd up peace batshit pissed bringing it back to reason and mellow over and over punk forever and I won't let us forget it. I am and so is life. Oceans and rivers. I will see the rocks move in another life. Respect, Obliged, and Gratitude. This is who I was when you said I was pretending.
Perfect evolution from the raw and corrupted post punkness of the Clash. Remember the US Festival? They showed up in their G-4, played, and then flew back out in their G-4
Between the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and his death 1 year and 3 months later he visited he visited it took parts in ceremonies in Manhattan at least four times. I remember him once saying something to the effect of that he grieves heavily over the over the loss of young lives. Unfortunately because he did not have physical check-ups his his heart ailment went undiagnosed and killed him suddenly.
Am I the only one listening to "Yalla Yalla" and thinking to the electric guitar part from "8 Ball" by Underworld? ua-cam.com/video/N5XYFook7tI/v-deo.html

Genius at work
If only you were still here Joe. What you would be sayin, playin. Still hearin! Timeless.
Does anything really need to be said about the genius that is Joe Strummer? No. You just have to listen to this song.
I love this track so much such awesomeness. There will never be such a compilation of musical talents again, what a shame.
Would have been his birthday today. Life time hero. Still miss him.
Happy Birthday Brother - we miss you. Thanks for your grace and all the wonderful music.
There was always depth in his music, a rhythmic flow to his vocal, and words that spoke from the heart. He could invoke emotion, make us think and ultimately entertain us.
Happy birthday Joe we still miss you!
Joe's wife, Lucinda, is shown dancing here. So happy to see this. Love you Joe.RIP
Thank You to Hellcat Records and RIP Joe Strummer

Α LEGEND NEVER DIE !
The person who dislikes this is someone I have no need to ever know.
Yalla Yalla Joe!
Magic music!
Well, so long liberty
Let's forget you didn't show
Not in my time
But in our sons' and daughters' time
When you get the feeling
Call and you got a room
Meantime, we're cutting our hands at the ke-bab shop
In the streets of fear
Forgetting all out best tai-kwon-do moves
On a barrel of beer
We trying to get a signal on a Ragga F.M.
Do the D.T.I., bust C.N.N.
Sucking the wine right outta the vine
Spitting it out again
Groovin', lets cut out of the scene, go groovin'
Groovin', lets cut out of the scene, go groovin'
Drive, drive, drive
Distance no object, rasta for I
Yalla, yalla, yalla, ya-lah
Yalla, yalla, ya-li-oo, whoa
Yalla, yalla, yalla, ya-lah
Jumbalaya on the Bayou
Kool Moe Dee was in the treacherous three
There's old school, new school and Brownie McGee
Going underwater to explode
Now night is falling on the grove
You can but dream
And I hear
Yalla, yalla, yalla, ya-lah
Yalla, yalla, ya-li-oo, whoa
Yalla, yalla, yalla, ya-lah
Jumbalaya on the Bayou
Yalla, yalla, yalla, ya-lah
Yalla, yalla, ya-li-oo, whoa
Yalla, yalla, yalla, ya-lah
There's jumbalaya on the Bayou tonight in the grove
Well, so long liberty
Just let's forget you never showed
Not in my time
But in our sons' and daughters' time
When you get the feeling
Call and you got a room
Meantime, we're cutting our hands on the ke-bab shop
In the streets of fear
Forgetting all those best tai-kwon-do moves
On a barrel of beer
Trying to get a signal through from Ragga F.M.
Do the D.T.I., bust C.N.N.
Sucking the swine right outta the vine
Spitting it back again
Groovin', lets cut out of the scene, go groovin'
Groovin', lets cut out of the scene, go groovin'
Drive, drive
Distance no object, rasta for I
Somebody got a vision of a homeland
From a township, from a township window
Through a township window
Some crazy widow dares to have a vision
Starts seething, like
Seeming like a homeland on the plain
Not in focus yet
Seeming like a homeland on the plain
Not a focus yet
I'm groovin' with a free syle nation
And maximum density
And I say
Yalla, yalla, yalla, ya-lah
Yalla, yalla, ya-li-oo, whoa
Yalla, yalla, yalla, ya-lah
Jumbalaya on the Bayou
Yalla, yalla, yalla, ya-lah
Yalla, yalla, ya-li-oo, whoa
Yalla, yalla, yalla, ya-lah
Only to shine, shine in gold, shine

still the Boss
È stupenda.. X questa canzone ho chiamata la mia cagnolina yalla❤
Sì, aggiungo che tutto l' album contenente questa canzone è bellissimo.
Perfect evolution from the raw and corrupted post punkness of the Clash. Remember the US Festival? They showed up in their G-4, played, and then flew back out in their G-4
amen.
Between the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and his death 1 year and 3 months later he visited he visited it took parts in ceremonies in Manhattan at least four times. I remember him once saying something to the effect of that he grieves heavily over the over the loss of young lives. Unfortunately because he did not have physical check-ups his his heart ailment went undiagnosed and killed him suddenly.
As good as anything the Clash did. We miss you Joe
Joe 💜

So long, liberty. Let's forget that you didn't show. Johnny where are you?

Sublime.
Check out the lyrics
"Cutting our hands on the Kebab shop ....distance no object....RASTA-4RI !!!!
what a man :(
it reminds me old Bankrobber video :)
Reminds me of Paul Kelly singing Yil Lull by Joseph Geia. Kindred spirits if ever there were.
Fuckin' genius!
@TheCanalThatRocked I was there ^_^ still remember a wonderful London Calling, under the rain!
Dios,Joe Strummer!

Marlon A
let me remember what life is
Joe was so handsome.
😎
@cristianmaran
Yeah. It's miami
Too much 'Speed' in the 70s. Stole his heart away...
Well that or a congenital heart defect that could have killed him at any time, but don’t let that get in the way of a good story
1:30 Lucinda :D
Looks like Keith Allen next to her aswell

They don’t make em like Joe anymore...
