Wonder if he remembers that gig in Derby with The Clash and The Lou's?<BR/>Thanks for your contribution, Will. Both yourself and Jeremy have posted some nice and perceptive words on Joe.

Strummer's untimely passing is one the saddest in rock'n'roll, as he was such a genuine, humble spirit and had finally found his way back to the stage making relevant, exhilarating music once again. I just wonder when the hell this doc is coming to the boring ol' USA...Will Erricksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285306262078600804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148418880996714969.post-43882742761442324802007-10-17T17:09:00.000+01:002007-10-17T17:09:00.000+01:00Hey I know Richard!

Richard and I are from the same area and I have corresponded with him some and collected all of his literary works and of course records...seeing his with The Clash must have been incredible...RUDE BOY did recently come out here but I haven't been able to pick it up yet...phenomenal film.<BR/>Thanks again for the support and nice words.Nostalgia Kinkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506680500183270767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148418880996714969.post-31116709019478641662007-10-15T16:04:00.000+01:002007-10-15T16:04:00.000+01:00Thank you Jeremy for those kind words.

One of my most precious musical memories involves seeing The Clash in Derby with Richard Hell as support when that superb debut album was released. I'm not sure if the movie RUDE BOY is available in the US but it's essential viewing. Thanks again for the encouragement, and I'll be checking your own blog on a daily basis as usual. it really is an absolute joy to read.Steve Langtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00759586159893673244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148418880996714969.post-63719976496826336142007-10-15T14:49:00.000+01:002007-10-15T14:49:00.000+01:00Good luck Steve with your blog, and way to go on a...Good luck Steve with your blog, and way to go on a wonderful opening post. <BR/>I love Joe and can't wait to see this picture. I never got to see him live which is soemthing I will always regret, but some of my most special teenage memories involve listening to The Clash and obsessing over Joe's lyrics.<BR/>I recently got a couple dozen or so live soundboard recordings of The Clash and hearing these are like having an old friend coming back in my life. I wish at 34 I still had the same consistent passion and energy I had at 18, but at least when I am hearing Joe, Mick, Paul and Topper I feel it again.<BR/>Great opening post...good luck with your blog.Nostalgia Kinkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506680500183270767noreply@blogger.com
