OT: the future is unwritten
 

Saw this last night and it is amazing! If you guys like Joe or The Clash do yourself a favor and check it out. Really inspiring.
He is a hero...

damn. yet another clash dvd to add to the stack.

is he pretending to be jack kerouac in that picture? i mean, typing with sheets of paper taped together?

damn, i'm kicking myself for not seeing this when it was in the theater. i had the pleasure of seeing joe perform about a year before his death. what a guy.



on a side note, that paper airplanes song from m.i.a. bugs the **** outta me for some reason.

Joe strummer is amazing.
Need to see this!

i have to disagree on "paper planes" by m.i.a. that has to be one of the catchiest ****ing songs I've heard in a while. i can't stand the rest of the album for the most part, however.

it's catchy because of the straight to hell sample. otherwise it sounds wack to me.


i dunno. i don't mind when things are sampled, in fact i usually enjoy it. but whenever people use clash songs, they just never do them justice. like grouch and zion i. they used the guns of brixton bass and drums and i was just like "oh, ok, i guess".

yup, having a screening at my house once this gets on DVD. all you philly kids are welcome.

Loved this movie.
definetly inspiring. he lived an incredible life.

truth

One of the best concerts I've ever been to, was when I saw Joe Strummer and The Mescaleroes back in 2000 or 2001. I love his solo stuff, but when the band started cranking out Clash songs, it was a truly amazing experience. My only wish was that I was born sooner so that I could have seen the Clash back in their heyday. :(

i saw joe strummer and the mescaleros in 01. It was awesome when they played clash songs. i can not get into live "clash" though, they seemed to suck on stage a lot.
