exhalations

It's a sad day for rock with the death of Joe Strummer of the Clash. I've been rediscovering the music of the Clash while converting old LP's to CD over the past few weeks. The Clash were a great band and Strummer was their heart and soul. While generally classified as a punk band, they were so much more than that. Strummer had a great, kick-ass, smart aleck attitude with a sence of humor and what I think is a great voice. Quite a combination.

Strummer's latest project was Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros on Epitaph Records. A while back I tried to order a copy of one of their recordings. As I recall, it was only available in vinyl, so I cancelled the order. Time to check their music, as CD's are obviously now available.

Unfortunately, Joe smoked cigarettes and was probably another tobacco-related casualty.
